Summary
This study tests whether a sleep health coaching program, based on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, can improve sleep in firefighters who have trouble sleeping. About 400 firefighters from 20 fire agencies in Arizona will take part. Half will receive the coaching program, which includes phone sessions and workplace changes, while the other half will continue with usual care. The goal is to see if the coaching leads to better sleep quality and overall sleep health.
