Summary

This pilot study is focused on estimating the impact of a tele-sleep intervention on patient-centered outcomes relevant to former football players, including a) sleep duration, quality, and daytime impairment; b) pain, pain catastrophizing, physical and emotional functioning; c) mood; d) quality of life, with the longer-term goal to evaluate the impact on cardiovascular health risk. The evidence-based 'Brief Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia' (BBTI) will be utilized and tailored it to meet the needs of former football players.

This pilot work will serve as the foundation for a larger, future clinical trial that utilizes a durable approach for improving sleep health with potential influence pain and quality of life as well as future studies to evaluate the implementation and scalability of BBTI in novel populations.

Brief Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (BBTI)

Participants will receive evidence-based 'Brief Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia' (BBTI), tailored to meet the needs of former football players. BBTi is a brief, efficacious treatment that focuses on modifying behaviors, rather than cognitive domains. The treatment emphasizes education, motivational tools, and specific behavioral recommendations (e.g., restricting time in bed) and will be administered through weekly phone calls with a trained sleep interventionist over 4-weeks.
