The first group is the sleep hygiene group. If you are assigned to the sleep hygiene group
you have 1 session with a clinician to learn about different things you can do to improve
your sleep.
The second group is the intensive sleep retraining group. If you are in this group you will
spend about 1 day at our sleep lab, starting around your usual bedtime and ending the
following day. Over a 20 hour period you will complete a sleep retraining session, which
involves an opportunity to fall asleep every 30 minutes; we will wake you after a few minutes
if you fall asleep.
For both groups, after the treatment session, you will complete questionnaires online and
talk with a study clinician who will ask you questions about your mood every two weeks for 8
weeks.
