Relaxation techniques: Strategies are used to decrease physiological and cognitive activation prior to sleep. Stimulus control: This technique aims to reduce the negative association between the bedroom and difficulty sleeping. The intervention is delivered in a structured and supervised format, with the goal of promoting sustainable behavioral and cognitive changes that improve sleep quality.
