Summary

Insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder associated with substantial negative health consequences, including fatigue, irritability, and impaired daytime functioning. Although effective pharmacological and psychological treatments exist, fewer than half of individuals with insomnia seek professional treatment, highlighting the need for accessible and acceptable non-pharmacological interventions. Sleep hygiene education (SHE) has the potential to address this gap due to its simplicity, low cost, and ease of self-administration. However, previous studies have often underestimated the efficacy of SHE by using it as a passive control condition rather than an active, structured intervention. To address this limitation, the proposed pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a theory-based, structured SHE program integrated with behavior change techniques.

Sleep Hygiene Education

Participants in this group will receive a structured six-week SHE intervention. The intervention includes two weekly 2 hours group-based, face-to-face educational sessions (total 4 hours) conducted in a classroom at the School of Nursing, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, followed by four weekly individualized telephone consultations lasting approximately 10 minutes each. During the educational sessions, participants will receive education on insomnia and evidence-based sleep hygiene practices and will develop individualized behavior change plans to support sustained sleep hygiene implementation. The subsequent telephone consultations will reinforce adherence to these plans through review of progress, discussion of barriers, and provision of tailored feedback. To obtain qualitative feedback on the acceptability of the intervention, a focus group interview lasting approximately 1 hour will be conducted after completion of the second educational session.
