This study tested whether an internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy program (iCBT-I) can help people with chronic insomnia. 107 adults were randomly assigned to receive the online program or usual care. The program included educational videos, sleep tracking, and techniques like sleep restriction and relaxation. Researchers measured changes in insomnia severity and sleep quality to see if the online approach is effective and cost-effective.
