iCANSleep: Smartphone App-Based Insomnia Treatment for Cancer Survivors
Sponsor: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Summary
The investigators will answer the question of whether treating insomnia using the mobile-app-based intervention of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) for cancer survivors ("iCANSleep") can improve symptoms of insomnia in Canadian cancer survivors compared to a waitlist control group. The investigators will recruit 146 people with insomnia who have completed cancer treatment at least 3 months prior to the study.

Interventions
App-Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia
The iCANSleep app is based on an established CBT-I protocol. The core features of the iCANSleep app include 1) a modified CBT-I protocol for cancer survivors and 2) daily sleep diaries. Core components of CBT-I treatment to be implemented include sleep restriction, stimulus control, cognitive restructuring, and psychoeducation. These components will be modified into 7-weekly modules.
