Sauna blankets and online therapy: a new way to beat insomnia?
NCT ID NCT07036705
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding sauna blanket sessions to an online insomnia therapy program helps people sleep better. Forty adults with insomnia will all receive digital cognitive behavioral therapy, and half will also use a sauna blanket for 15 minutes several times a week. The main goal is to see if people find the combined treatment acceptable and worth recommending.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and passive body heating via sauna blanket
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to improve insomnia treatment by combining talk therapy with body warming.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage trial focused on acceptability, not proof of effectiveness. The sauna blanket may be uncomfortable or impractical for some, and results may not apply to everyone with insomnia.
