The investigators intend to assess the following:
- the efficacy of CBTi in treating insomnia during recovery,
- does a family history of alcoholism moderate the insomnia symptoms,
- does an improvement in insomnia lead to a decrease in impulsivity.
- the efficacy of CBTi in treating insomnia during recovery,
- does a family history of alcoholism moderate the insomnia symptoms,
- does an improvement in insomnia lead to a decrease in impulsivity.
The primary goals of this pilot study are the following:
a) to assess for the difference in improvement insomnia, after 8 weeks of treatment with
recommended CBTi, in veterans with and without a family history of alcohol dependence during
early recovery,
The secondary goals include the following:
1. to assess for any change in the alcohol consumption indices between the groups after 8
weeks of CBTi,
2. to assess for change in psychiatric symptoms of mood and anxiety across the groups,
3. to assess for differences in insomnia in subjects, with and without a first degree
family history of alcohol dependence,
4. to evaluate for any change in the risk-taking and other impulsivity-related measures
with insomnia treatment.
