Summary

This trial will test a relaxation technique to help pregnant women with insomnia.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pregnant women aged 18-55 in their second or third trimester, who have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep at least three nights a week for over a month. They must be fluent in English and have access to a smartphone or tablet. Women with night shift work schedules or other medical issues that could interfere with the study can't participate.
What is being tested?
The study is testing how well behavioral relaxation techniques help improve sleep in pregnant women with insomnia. It involves learning sleep hygiene practices and participating in assisted therapy using technology like smartphones or tablets.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on non-medical interventions like behavioral relaxation and assisted therapy, there are no direct side effects as you might expect from medication; however, participants may experience varying levels of effectiveness.
