Summary

This study tests whether an online, therapist-guided program for insomnia can also reduce anxiety symptoms. 98 adults with both chronic insomnia and anxiety will either start the program immediately or after a delay. The program includes sleep education, behavioural strategies, and relaxation techniques, and researchers will track changes in anxiety, sleep, and brain activity.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: online cognitive behavioural and circadian therapy for insomnia (CBCTi)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a widely accessible online treatment that eases both insomnia and anxiety symptoms.
What could go wrong: This is a small early-stage trial with 98 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy requires time and effort, and not everyone may benefit.
