Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Internet-based CBT-I
Sleep Healthy Using the Internet (SHUTi) is a self-guided, automated, interactive, and tailored web-based program modeled on the primary tenets of cognitive-behavioral treatment for insomnia (CBT-I): sleep restriction, stimulus control, cognitive restructuring, sleep hygiene, and relapse prevention. Intervention content is allocated out over time through 6 "Cores." Users obtain access to a new Core based on a time and event-based schedule (e.g., 7 days after completion of previous Core). SHUTi uses online sleep diaries to track progress and to tailor treatment (e.g., assign a sleep restriction window).
