Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main aims are to:
1. Test the acceptability, feasibility, and satisfaction of sleep-focused CBT delivered early after trauma
2. Evaluate the impact of sleep-focused CBT delivered early after trauma on sleep disturbance
3. Evaluate the impact of sleep-focused CBT delivered early after trauma on PTSD symptoms
The investigators will compare CBT-I and CBT-I\&N to sleep education control.
Participants will meet with a provider for 6 weekly sessions via telehealth and complete surveys on the participants' symptoms.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Eligible patients will be randomized (1:1) to the active treatment condition (CBT-I or CBT-I\&N) or to the control condition (sleep education with or without nightmare education).
Patients with insomnia and comorbid nightmares who are randomized to the active treatment condition will be triaged to CBT-I\&N, whereas patients with insomnia and comorbid nightmares who are randomized to the control condition will be triaged to receive sleep education + nightmare education. All other patients with insomnia only will be triaged to receive either CBT-I (active) or sleep education (control).

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based treatment modality that focuses on modifying maladaptive or unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is delivered via 6 weekly 60-min sessions via telemedicine. CBT-I is a multisession treatment approach that focuses on sleep-specific behaviors and thoughts through various methods.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia and Nightmares
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia and Nightmares (CBT-I\&N) is a combination of CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I) and Exposure, Relaxation, and Rescripting Therapy used for the treatment of nightmares (ERRT). CBT-I\&N is delivered via 6 weekly 60-min sessions via telemedicine and includes the modification of sleep habits, exposure, and progressive muscle relaxation.
Sleep Education
Sleep Education provides general information on human sleep and sleep hygiene guidelines.
Sleep Education
Sleep education is delivered via telemedicine via 6 weekly 60-min sessions. These sessions will be focused on psychoeducation on sleep after trauma, including common sleep disturbances that may emerge and sleep hygiene guidelines to minimize these disruptions (e.g., wind-down routine, avoid caffeine).
Sleep Education enhanced with Nightmare Education
Sleep education enhanced with nightmare education will include all the components of normal sleep education, as described above, in addition to normalizing the experience of nightmares after trauma and providing psychoeducation on nightmares. The treatment is provided over 6 weekly 60-min sessions via telemedicine.
