Study Background
Sleep is essential for physical and emotional well-being, yet millions of Americans don’t get enough sleep.
Evidence shows that poor sleep can contribute to negative mental health symptoms by disrupting brain connections that regulate mood and emotions. However, more research is needed to understand how improving sleep may also improve emotional regulation.
The goal of this study is to test whether a science-backed therapy for sleep disturbance can also help reduce depressive symptoms in people with insomnia.
Your participation in this study may help investigators develop better treatments for insomnia and mental health symptoms in the future. Further research today and join our compensated study!
