The Sleep Course: An Online Sleep Intervention for Adults With Self-reported Sleep Difficulties
Sponsor: University of Regina
Summary
This study evaluates an internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (ICBTi) intervention, known as the Sleep Course, within a routine online therapy clinic (the Online Therapy Unit). The Sleep Course will specifically be offered to clients with self-reported sleep difficulties (i.e., falling or staying asleep or waking early) and daytime distress and or impairment. This study aims to replicate the effectiveness and acceptability of the previously evaluated Sleep Course when delivered in Australia. The investigators will also assess uptake and completion rates within the clinic as well as demographic and clinical characteristics of individuals enrolled in the Sleep Course.

Sleep Course
The Sleep Course previously developed and evaluated in Australia will be delivered to clients meeting participation criteria. The Sleep Course is four lessons long and is offered with once weekly therapist support for 8 weeks where clients are encouraged to email the assigned therapist for support each week. The therapist reviews client progress in the Course and emails clients once per week on a designated check in date. Sometimes the therapist will call the client. Phone calls are typically made if a client is not logging in or if the therapist feels that a phone call would be a helpful way to provide support.
