Web program helps insomniacs kick the pill habit
NCT ID NCT02720458
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a simple internet-based self-help program could help people with long-term insomnia stop using sleeping pills like benzodiazepines or Z-drugs. The program used sleep restriction and stimulus control techniques. 62 adults who had been taking sleep medication for at least 3 months and wanted to quit were enrolled. The goal was to see if the online program, combined with a doctor's advice, made it easier to stop the pills compared to just tapering off alone.
