Summary

This project will test the efficacy of a brief, 2 session behavioral intervention for insomnia, as compared to an information-only condition. We hypothesize that compared to those receiving the information-only intervention, those assigned to BBTI will have superior short-term outcomes and retain the gains made, at 12 months.

We will also compare older insomniacs to age matched good sleepers through measurers of mental and physical health, sleep, and general functioning. We hypothesize that the insomnia cohort will have more physical and mental health disorders of a greater severity than the age-matched controls.

BEHAVIORAL

Brief Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia or Information

The behavioral treatment involves education about sleep and its disorders; habits that help and hurt sleep; and recommendations about sleep hours and time in bed. It involves two meetings with a nurse who is part of the research team. In the information condition, participants are given similar information in printed brochures that are published by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. They are instructed to read the information.
