Summary
This trial tests whether a single live online group session, called STEP-Together, can help cancer survivors who have trouble sleeping. The session provides practical tips on sleep habits, environment, and timing. Researchers will measure changes in insomnia severity and mood eight weeks after the session. The study includes adults with a past cancer diagnosis who are not currently on active treatment and who report significant insomnia.
