Summary

This trial is testing whether CBTi can help improve sleep, circadian rhythms, biomarkers, cognitive performance, and MRI scans in adults aged 50-65.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 50-65 with insomnia, normal cognitive status (MoCA scores ≥24), and access to a computer with video/audio for teletherapy are eligible. They must plan to stay local for 6 months, speak English, have normal hearing, and not start new sleep treatments during the study. Excluded if they have high sleep efficiency (>85%), serious mental health issues, untreated sleep disorders like apnea, current CBTi treatment or circadian rhythm disorders.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi) works when delivered in-person, via telehealth or internet platforms. It measures changes in participants' sleep quality, circadian rhythms, biomarkers of health and stress levels before and after therapy using questionnaires and MRI scans.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral therapy rather than medication there are no direct side effects as one might expect from drugs; however participants may experience discomfort from blood draws or claustrophobia in MRI machines.
