CBT-I in Physically Active Participants With Insomnia Complaints
Effects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) in Physically Active Participants With Insomnia Complaints: a Randomized Clinical Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) can treat insomnia complaints in participants physically active; men and woman; aged 30-59 years old. The main question it aims to answer is:
Can this terapy to reduce the insomnia severity? Can this terapy to improve sleep and related complaints?
Researchers will compare CBT-I vs No treatment to see if CBT-I can promote better sleep.
Participants will receive 6 weeks of treatment.

MATERIAL AND METHODS
This is a randomized clinical trial with two parallel groups, conducted in the period from November 2025 to April 2029, in the municipality of Jataí, located in the interior of Goiás, region Midwest of Brazil. Data collection will be carried out in a private room environment, to guarantee secrecy and confidentiality of the participants' information, as well as their accommodation. All participants in the study will be identified by codes, to guarantee secrecy and confidentiality of information from participants
Sample selection Patients of the male and female gender will be selected, physically active (practice of physical exercise >150 min/week) with complaints of insomnia, who will be randomly distributed into two groups: control group (without interventions) and intervention group with CBT-I. The selected participants will be randomly distributed with an allocation rate of 1:1, according to the standards of the Consolidated of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) for Randomized Trials of Nonpharmacologic Treatments. Randomization will be carried out by an external automated online system, ensuring that the allocation is not influenced by the research team.
The selected participants will be randomly distributed (simple randomization 1:1).. The sample size was calculated considering a significance level of 5% (p=0.05), test power of 80%, difference of 4 points in the mean of the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and average standard deviation (sigma) of 5.0. Control group (n=25) and CBT-I Group (n=25).
The schedule of activities with the intervention and control groups will occur for a total period of up to 13 weeks. Assessments will be carried out at three different times: (1) at baseline (pre-intervention), (2) after six weeks and (3) after four weeks of follow-up.
Ethical considerations The study was approved from the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Jataí (CAAE: 94602225.8.0000.0187). Participants must sign the Free and Informed Consent Form. All material from the study will be the responsibility of the researcher responsible and stored for a period of five years, then incinerated.

Then, through a face-to-face interview, in a well-lit, air-conditioned room, free of distractions, with suitable and comfortable furniture for privacy, on the premises of Clínica Neso, located at Tiradentes N. 2567, in the city of Jataí-Goiás, volunteers will receive guidance on their search procedures and signing of the informed consent form and registration form. Volunteers interested in participating in the research will be submitted to a sequence of assessments, which aim to ensure the inclusion criteria and exclusion of this study. Included participants will be submitted to assessments on health and sleep conditions through self-applicable questionnaires and sleep assessment through actigraphy. In addition, they will also be questionnaires applied that assess frequency and duration of physical activity; chronotype of morningness and eveningness; level of cognitive and somatic alertness in pre-sleep; dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep; mood changes, depression, anxiety and stress; quality of life; sleep hygiene index; risk of obstructive sleep apnea; risk of restless legs syndrome symptoms; and body mass index.

The Insomnia Severity Index is a questionnaire that assesses insomnia complaints.
It is a self-administered, simple and short instrument, with seven items that can be classified from 0 to 4, with the lowest final score = 0 and the highest = 28.
Non-significant insomnia is considered scores from 0 to 7, lower limit for insomnia from 8 to 14, moderate insomnia from 15 to 21 and severe insomnia from 22 to 28.

Sleep assessment by Actigraphy
Prazo: (1) at baseline (pre-intervention), (2) six weeks and (3) four weeks of follow-up
|
Actigraphy is a technique that allows determining the pattern of the wake-sleep cycle, through recording motor activity, resulting from body movements.
This method has been considered gold standard for assessing/investigating insomnia complaints, as it provides evidence of information such as total sleep time, total wake time, latency to sleep onset and awakenings.
The Micro MotionLogger® model (Ambulatory Monitoring, Inc., USA) equipment is similar to a wristwatch, which should be used for 10 consecutive days.

Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) The Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index is a questionnaire that measures the quality of sleep through seven domains that are: subjective sleep quality, sleep onset latency, duration of sleep, sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medications and daytime impairments in the last thirty days.
The evaluation starts from the analysis of global scores less than or equal to 5, which suggest a good sleep quality, while scores greater than 5 suggest poor sleep quality.

Each item has a five-point scale that determines the intensity of the symptom experienced at the beginning of sleep, with a score of one indicating no symptom experienced and a score of five expressing an extremely intense symptom.

Body mass
Prazo: Baseline (pre-intervention)
|
Assessment of body mass index (BMI) To assess the patients' body weight, a bioimpedance scale (Multilaser - HC060N) will be used, with a capacity of up to 180kg.
Height will be assessed using a digital portable stadiometer (Welmy).
The body mass index will be calculated using the formula: body mass/height squared.

Chronotype
Prazo: Baseline (pre-intervention)
|
Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire - (MEQ) The Horne & Östberg Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (1976) is a psychometric instrument used to assess an individual's chronotype, that is, their preference natural for the times of day when they feel most alert, active and productive.
It is used for classification of three main chronotypes, which are: morning, who prefers activities early in the day, wakes up and sleeps early, feels more alert in the morning; evening, who prefers activities at the end of the day, feels more willing at night, sleeps and wakes up later; and intermediate, who has no clear preference for morning or night.
The score ranges from 16 to 86, in which scores between 16 and 41 determine the evening type, between 42 and 58 the indifferent type and between 59 and 86 defines the morning type (4).

Physical activity level
Prazo: baseline (pre-intervention)

International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form (IPAQ-SF) The short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire is used to assess the level of physical activity, based on the activities of last week.
The questionnaire consists of questions about the frequency and duration of moderate, vigorous and walking physical activities.
The participants will be classified as insufficiently active (<150 minutes moderate activity/week) and active (>150 minutes moderate activity)(Matsudo et al., 2001).

Restless legs syndrome symptoms
Prazo: Baseline (pre-intervention)
|
Restless Legs Syndrome Rating Scale (IRLS) The IRLS is a scale to assess the severity of symptoms of restless legs syndrome.
Restless legs syndrome is characterized by discomfort, usually in the legs, with an urgent need to move them, in the face of unpleasant sensations, which impair significantly the sufferer's sleep.
The IRLS consists of 10 questions, in which the answers have a variation from 0 (corresponds to 'none') to 5 (corresponds to 'very large').
From the sum of the points of 0-10 indicates mild severity, 11 to 20 moderate, 21 to 30 severe, 31 to 40 very severe (Masuko AH et al., 2008).

Sleep apnea symptoms
Prazo: baseline (pre-intervention)
|
Stop-Bang The STOP-Bang (acronym for snoring, tiredness, observed apnea, high blood pressure, body mass index, age, neck circumference, and gender) is a self-report questionnaire that contains eight yes/no questions, used to detect obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
The scoring criteria for this questionnaire are low risk of OSA with scores of 'yes' for less than three questions and high risk for OSA with scores of 'yes' for more than three questions (Reis at al., 2015).
