Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mayo Clinic Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)

The interactive learning module used at Mayo Clinic Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) focuses on five components: * Sleep hygiene * Stimulus control * Sleep restriction * Worry management * Relaxation training The module includes goal-setting prompts, knowledge tests, and informational videos. Participants will utilize the CCBT-I modules daily for 6 weeks.

DEVICE

Acoustic Resonance Therapy (ART)

The basis behind the SONU Headband system is acoustic resonance therapy (ART) which is delivered through two bone conduction transducers in the headband. Participants will utilize the SONU headband to receive a 45-minute audio session of the personalized binaural beats audio every evening prior to sleep for a duration of 6 weeks.
