Summary
Brief summary
Insomnia is one of the most prevalent sleep disorders. The symptoms include difficulties getting to sleep, difficulties staying asleep, or early-morning awakenings with an inability to return to sleep. Insomnia may also be associated with problems with memory and attention, and increased feelings of depression, anxiety and stress. Insomnia can be treated effectively without medication. However, there remains a large proportion of individuals who do not seek help possibly due to barriers such as geographical location or time constraints.

This project will investigate the efficacy and feasibility of an online mindfulness-based insomnia therapy program for people with difficulties getting to sleep or difficulties staying asleep. The study will also examine whether online mindfulness-based insomnia therapy improves objective sleep measures and reduces insomnia symptoms compared to a waitlist control group.
