What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of a group-based cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi) program for patients with comorbid insomnia and psychiatric disorders. Participants will receive education on sleep regulation and hygiene, and will be randomly assigned to either the CBTi group or a group receiving CBTi with the addition of blue-blocking glasses. The program is conducted at the sleep-school at Bjørgvin District Psychiatric Hospital, where patients meet bi-weekly for treatment. The primary outcomes measured will be improvements in sleep and psychiatric symptoms.
