Summary

This study is testing a smartphone app designed to help people who are starting medication for opioid use disorder get better sleep. The app uses proven sleep therapy techniques and daily sleep diaries. Researchers will enroll 40 adults who are stable on buprenorphine and have poor sleep. The main goal is to see if people find the app easy to use and stick with it for 6 weeks.
