Summary

This study tests whether a short, telephone-delivered insomnia treatment (BBTI) can improve sleep and cognitive function in 214 older adults with HIV, compared to a mindfulness approach (BMT). Participants will complete four weekly phone sessions and attend in-person visits for sleep and thinking tests over one year. The goal is to find a practical way to support brain health in this aging population.
