Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized, 5-week study compares CBT-I to sleep hygiene in 20 adults ages 18-50 with insomnia and elevated BMI. Participants complete questionnaires and daily sleep logs before and after the intervention to assess sleep and metabolic outcomes, including insulin resistance and fasting glucose. The study uses CBT-I as the main treatment to address thoughts and behaviors around sleep, with sleep hygiene as a control condition. Outcomes will provide preliminary evidence on whether improving sleep can influence metabolic health in this population.
