A Brief Behavioral Sleep Treatment for Improving Insomnia Outcomes in Older Adults

02930

- Rapid improvements in sleep latency, wake after sleep onset, sleep efficiency, and subjective sleep quality.

This behavioral sleep management program features a two‐session format led by a nurse clinician, beginning with a 45-minute face-to-face meeting that combines education on basic sleep physiology with four tailored directives: restrict time in bed to average nightly sleep plus 30 minutes (never below six hours), maintain a fixed morning wake‐up time, go to bed only when sleepy, and leave the bed if unable to sleep.

A 30-minute booster session in week two reinforces these rules, while brief telephone check-ins before and after the booster use sleep-diary data to fine-tune time-in-bed windows and promote adherence to both sleep restriction and consistent wake-up schedules.
