Adherence
Digital cognitive behavioral therapy (dCBT) for insomnia significantly improves functional health, psychological well-being, and sleep-related quality of life compared to sleep hygiene education, with these improvements mediated by the reduction in insomnia symptoms.
If you suffer from insomnia, digital CBT (like the Sleepio program) is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment. It not only improves your sleep but also significantly boosts your daytime health, mood, and overall quality of life. This treatment is delivered online, making it accessible, and has been shown to be superior to standard sleep hygiene advice in large-scale trials.
Use of dCBT is associated with a small improvement in functional health... and psychological well-being... and with a large improvement in sleep-related quality of life... A large improvement in insomnia mediated these outcomes (range mediated, 45.5%-84.0%).
