Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Perinatal Understanding of Mindful Awareness for Sleep (PUMAS)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
PUMAS is a clinician-administered psychotherapy intervention for prenatal insomnia that includes six weekly 60-minute sessions in an individual format. PUMAS combines behavioral sleep strategies with mindfulness exercises and tailors all components to pregnancy to improve sleep quality. PUMAS will be delivered via telemedicine video.
Group II: Treatment-as-usual (TAU)Active Control1 Intervention
TAU reflects real-world care where patients and their providers make their own treatment decisions for treating prenatal insomnia. Common TAU options include over-the-counter sleep aids, sleep hygiene education, melatonin, and cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia. The TAU group will be well-characterized (i.e., the investigators will monitor interventions administered by the usual care providers and collect information on dosage, frequency, duration, adherence) to best describe treatment options sought and completed in the real world.
