Optimizing Sleep Health in Nurses

The aim of the proposed study is to pilot test two behavioral sleep intervention strategies for improving insomnia among night shift working nurses.

Night shift nurses with insomnia who meet all study criteria will receive one of two insomnia therapies. The specific therapy for insomnia will be determine by chance (like a flip of a coin), with an equal chance to receive either cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia or multicomponent relaxation therapy for insomnia, both modified for shift workers. Both therapies will be conducted over telehealth by interventionists trained in behavioral sleep medicine.
