Summary

This trial is testing a computerized program called rSTATE to see if it can help older adults with insomnia improve their sleep and brain health, and stay independent longer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for older adults who are experiencing insomnia. Participants should be interested in trying a computerized cognitive training program to improve their sleep and brain health, with the goal of maintaining independence.
What is being tested?
The study is testing rSTATE, a computerized cognitive training designed to help regulate sleep patterns in older adults with insomnia. It also includes education on good sleep practices. The effectiveness of this program will be compared against standard treatments.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves non-invasive cognitive training and educational components, significant side effects are not anticipated. However, participants may experience fatigue or frustration if they find the exercises challenging.
