Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia

Definition

A brief, multi-component behavioral sleep intervention designed to be used by primary care practices for the treatment of insomnia. The intervention involves two in-person sessions, each lasting 30 to 75 minutes, and two "booster" telephone sessions, each lasting less than 20 minutes, that focus on modifying sleep behaviors that influence homeostatic and circadian sleep regulation, including sleep restriction, stimulus control, and sleep hygiene.
