CBT-I
This arm will receive internet CBT-I using SHUTi, a validated and proven therapy provided via internet in the general population. SHUTi: SHUTi is the empirically supported, internet CBT-I that is fully accessible via tablets and smartphones. It uses a self-guided, fully automated, interactive, multimedia format to deliver six 45-minute sessions, the structure and content of which mirror traditional face-to-face CBT-I. Session content includes sleep restriction, stimulus control, sleep hygiene, cognitive restructuring, and relapse prevention. SHUTi is enhanced through a variety of interactive features, including personalized goal setting, graphical feedback based on inputted symptoms, animations and illustrations to enhance comprehension, quizzes to test user knowledge, patient vignettes, and video-based expert explanation. Across sessions, patients also receive tailored sleep recommendations and feedback based on the sleep diary data they enter into the program.
Sleep Education/Hygiene
This arm will receive best practices education on sleep hygiene. Sleep Education/Hygiene: A research assistant (RA) will deliver the active control procedures. During the first 4 weeks, the RA will have two calls with each control participant - one 45-minute call on insomnia education (including their HIV provider's role in its management) and one 45-minute call on sleep hygiene practices. To end the first call, the RA will email or mail a list of local behavioral health services to patients and will encourage them to follow-up with their HIV provider. We will then notify the HIV provider, which will encourage them to address their patient's insomnia and provide the same list of local services.

CBT-I
n=10 Participants
This arm will receive internet CBT-I using SHUTi, a validated and proven therapy provided via internet in the general population. SHUTi: SHUTi is the empirically supported, internet CBT-I that is fully accessible via tablets and smartphones. It uses a self-guided, fully automated, interactive, multimedia format to deliver six 45-minute sessions, the structure and content of which mirror traditional face-to-face CBT-I. Session content includes sleep restriction, stimulus control, sleep hygiene, cognitive restructuring, and relapse prevention. SHUTi is enhanced through a variety of interactive features, including personalized goal setting, graphical feedback based on inputted symptoms, animations and illustrations to enhance comprehension, quizzes to test user knowledge, patient vignettes, and video-based expert explanation. Across sessions, patients also receive tailored sleep recommendations and feedback based on the sleep diary data they enter into the program.
Sleep Education/Hygiene
n=12 Participants
This arm will receive best practices education on sleep hygiene. Sleep Education/Hygiene: A research assistant (RA) will deliver the active control procedures. During the first 4 weeks, the RA will have two calls with each control participant - one 45-minute call on insomnia education (including their HIV provider's role in its management) and one 45-minute call on sleep hygiene practices. To end the first call, the RA will email or mail a list of local behavioral health services to patients and will encourage them to follow-up with their HIV provider. We will then notify the HIV provider, which will encourage them to address their patient's insomnia and provide the same list of local services.

It uses a self-guided, fully automated, interactive, multimedia format to deliver six 45-minute sessions, the structure and content of which mirror traditional face-to-face CBT-I. Session content includes sleep restriction, stimulus control, sleep hygiene, cognitive restructuring, and relapse prevention. SHUTi is enhanced through a variety of interactive features, including personalized goal setting, graphical feedback based on inputted symptoms, animations and illustrations to enhance comprehension, quizzes to test user knowledge, patient vignettes, and video-based expert explanation. Across sessions, patients also receive tailored sleep recommendations and feedback based on the sleep diary data they enter into the program.
Sleep Education/Hygiene
n=12 Participants
This arm will receive best practices education on sleep hygiene. Sleep Education/Hygiene: A research assistant (RA) will deliver the active control procedures. During the first 4 weeks, the RA will have two calls with each control participant - one 45-minute call on insomnia education (including their HIV provider's role in its management) and one 45-minute call on sleep hygiene practices. To end the first call, the RA will email or mail a list of local behavioral health services to patients and will encourage them to follow-up with their HIV provider. We will then notify the HIV provider, which will encourage them to address their patient's insomnia and provide the same list of local services.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 12 weeks

Population: The changes in CD14+16+ monocyte values are only reported for those who had paired values at Baseline and Week 12 to assess change in this variable.

Circulating intermediate monocytes as defined by flow cytometric evaluation for CD14+CD16+ monocytes will be measured. CD14+CD16+ monocytes are measured by flow cytometry and indicate the pro-inflammatory subpopulation of monocytes.

CBT-I
n=9 Participants
This arm will receive internet CBT-I using SHUTi, a validated and proven therapy provided via internet in the general population. SHUTi: SHUTi is the empirically supported, internet CBT-I that is fully accessible via tablets and smartphones. It uses a self-guided, fully automated, interactive, multimedia format to deliver six 45-minute sessions, the structure and content of which mirror traditional face-to-face CBT-I.

Change in CD14+CD16+ Monocytes at 12 Weeks
-1.75 percentage of total monocytes
Standard Deviation 9.83
0.23 percentage of total monocytes
Standard Deviation 3.62

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 12 weeks

Population: The changes in ISI values are only reported for those who had paired values at Baseline and Week 12 to assess change in this variable.

The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) total score will be measured. The total scale has a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 28, with higher scores indicating a worse outcome.
