Cognitive behavioral therapy effective for older people with insomnia

(American Geriatrics Society) A team of researchers developed a new cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) treatment program. The program uses trained 'sleep coaches' who are not therapists. They learn how to give CBTI using a manual and have weekly, supervised telephone calls with a CBTI psychologist. The program requires brief training for the sleep coaches, who are social workers or other health educators.
