Summary

This study tests whether a brief behavioral therapy (BBT-CI) or a healthy eating education program (HEAL) works better for reducing insomnia in cancer patients. About 400 adults with stage I-IV cancer who are currently receiving treatment and have sleep problems will take part. The goal is to find which approach improves sleep and quality of life more.
