Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Students who self-identify as having insomnia will be recruited from the University of Alabama's Psychology subject pool. Students who enroll in the study will receive a link to the demographic and screening questionnaire. Individuals who have a history of other sleep disorders or who currently present with symptoms strongly suggestive of sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea or narcolepsy will be excluded. Individuals who are shift-workers and those with a history of severe mental illness will also be excluded.
Participants who meet criteria for this study will then be directed to complete a measure of sleep knowledge. Once they have completed the measure of sleep knowledge, they will be directed to complete the Consensus Sleep Diary (CSD) for 14 days as soon as possible after awakening in the morning. During the second week of completing the CSD, participants will be directed to complete the Insomnia Severity Index and the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Sleep Disturbance and Sleep-Related Impairments Short Forms on the last day they complete a CSD.
Participants will be randomized to a treatment group or a minimum treatment control group upon completion of these baseline measures. Those in the treatment group will be emailed the following components of the insomnia treatment: a link to the treatment video, an mp3 file with a relaxation recording, and a pdf file of a brochure reviewing the information presented in the treatment video. Participants will be asked to view the treatment video and begin practicing the relaxation technique presented in the mp3 file as soon as possible. Participants in the minimum treatment control group will receive a link to a sleep education video.
Two weeks after participants have viewed the videos, they will be asked to complete post-treatment measures in the same sequence as they did at baseline. One month after the post-treatment measures have been completed, both groups will be asked to complete the same measures again for follow-up.
