What this study is

This two-arm randomized trial will provide digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) to all participants and passive body heating (PBH) sessions using a sauna blanket to half of participants over a 9-week treatment period. Participants are adults aged 18 years or older with insomnia disorder.

What's being tested

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)

    Intervention · BEHAVIORAL

    Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is a behavioral (psychotherapeutic) intervention for insomnia disorder. Participants will complete digital CBT-I online using the Sleep Healthy Using the Internet (SHUTi) program.

  • Passive Body Heating (PBH)

    Intervention · DEVICE

    Passive body heating (PBH) is a body-based treatment that participants will complete using a sauna blanket, which is similar in form factor to an adult-sized sleeping bag (head is not within the heated area). Participants will complete at least three 15-minute PBH sessions per week. Participants will complete PBH sessions in the sauna blanket placed on the floor or on a couch (i.e., not in their bed) at a setting of Level 6, 1-2 hours before bed.
