- Abstract
Sleep quality is correlated with physical and mental health and is an important target for overall well-being. CBT-I is an evidence-based strategy to improve sleep quality; however, shortage of qualified providers; logistical issues such as cost, travel, and time; privacy concerns; and a desire to resolve symptoms on one's own limit access to CBT-I. Compared to traditional face-to-face or web-based delivery of CBT-I, app-delivered CBT-I may be an efficacious alternative capitalizing on the portability, privacy, and accessibility of mobile phones. The present study examined the effectiveness of the CBT-I Coach for educating participants about the importance of healthy sleep practices and dysfunctional beliefs about sleep and targeted sleep. The use of the CBT-I Coach resulted in significant improvements in sleep quality, dysfunctional beliefs about sleep, sleep hygiene behaviors, and sleep efficiency. This study supports the use of CBT-I Coach as an effective intervention for improving sleep quality.
