Summary

This study tests whether a four-week program called Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (BBTi) can help middle-aged and older adults with chronic insomnia sleep better and feel less stressed. The program includes sleep education, relaxation techniques, and personalized coaching via phone and in-person visits. Researchers will measure changes in insomnia severity, sleep quality, anxiety, depression, and stress levels in 80 participants.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to improve sleep and lower stress in older adults with chronic insomnia.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 80 participants and no control group, so results may not be widely applicable. The therapy requires active participation and may not work for everyone.
