Summary

This trial will determine if voice-activated smart speakers can help reduce insomnia symptoms in breast cancer survivors.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for female breast cancer survivors, aged 18 or older, who have finished their main treatments over 3 months ago and are experiencing insomnia. They should not have had other sleep treatments in the past year and must be able to speak English. Those with severe mental health issues, substance abuse history, shift work patterns, or certain untreated sleep disorders cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study tests a website and smart speaker program designed to help with insomnia using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) techniques. Participants will be randomly assigned to use these digital tools to see if they improve sleep quality among those who've survived breast cancer.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral therapy through digital platforms rather than medication, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating. However, participants may experience changes in their sleeping patterns as they adjust to the therapy.
