Interventions
Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (BBTI)
In the first week, treatment consists of a 60-minute video individual intervention session; in the second week, participants receive a 30-minute phone call; in the third week, treatment consists of a 45-minute video individual session; the final session consists of a 30-minute phone call. BBTI emphasizes behavioral elements of insomnia treatment. Treatment begins with sleep education and discussion of homeostatic and circadian mechanisms of human sleep regulation. Next, a series of interventions are employed that are derived from sleep restriction and stimulus control techniques.
Progressive Muscle Relaxation Training (PMRT)
In the first week, treatment consists of a 60-minute video individual intervention session; in the second week, participants receive a 30-minute phone call; in the third week, treatment consists of a 45-minute video individual session; the final session consists of a 30-minute phone call. Treatment begins with learning how to alternately tense and relax 14 major muscle groups, and then to use progressively more efficient tensing-relaxing and passive relaxation exercises, with sessions used to teach techniques and problem-solve barriers to its daily use.
