- Original description
Internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (iCBT-I) has shown promise for reducing insomnia symptoms. Additionally, physical activity has long been known to contribute to better sleep. The current protocol describes a planned a two-phased project aiming to examine the effect of a randomised controlled trial, including iCBT-I (standard care) alone or with additional physical activity components (iCBT-I-PA). Adults with sleep problems and insufficient physical activity levels will be included in the 6-8-week intervention. Outcomes measured will include insomnia severity (primary outcome), physical activity, sedentary behaviour, psychological distress, cognitive function and quality of life. Measures will be taken at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 6- and 12-month follow-ups. We hypothesise that the iCBT-I-PA group will show greater reductions in insomnia severity and increase physical activity compared to the iCBT-I group.Read full original descriptionShow less
