Summary

This trial tests whether a 4-week group therapy program can improve sleep in adults with chronic mental illness who also have insomnia. Participants attend weekly sessions focused on sleep habits, relaxation, and sleep-friendly routines, and track their sleep in a diary. The study compares them to a waitlist group to see if the program eases insomnia and boosts psychological well-being.
