Summary

This study tested whether a culturally adapted version of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi) could help Arab adults sleep better. 54 participants were randomly assigned to receive one of two adapted therapy versions or be placed on a waitlist. The goal was to see if adapting the therapy to Arab culture improved insomnia symptoms, sleep quality, mood, and fatigue.
