Sleep Difficulties After Loss: Exploring the Beneficial Effect of Brief Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia in a Sample of Bereaved Individuals
Sponsor: University of Aarhus
Summary
The goal of the study is to investigate whether a brief behavioral therapy for insomnia (BBTI) improves sleep in bereaved patients screened for insomnia compared to an active control group (sleep hygiene education). The study will also explore if BBTI improves symptoms of complicated grief. The investigators will recruit approximately 58 bereaved participants with insomnia.

Interventions
Brief Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia
BBTI is a multi-component intervention consisting of techniques from sleep restriction and stimulus control therapy. It targets behavioral elements of insomnia using four techniques: 1) reduce time in bed, 2) get up at the same time every day, 3) do not go to bed unless sleepy, and 4) do not stay in bed unless asleep.
Sleep Hygiene Therapy
SHE consists of education on lifestyle factors (diet, exercise, substance use) and enviromental variables (noise, light, temperature) affecting sleep quality.
