Brief description Insomnia is highly prevalent and predicts many other mental and physical problems. While very good behavioural treatments exist for insomnia, not everyone is able to comply with the difficult behaviour changes required to improve. Bed partners often influence sleep behaviours, and thus, can play a helpful role in the treatment of insomnia, if they are taught how. We will test the first intervention ever developed integrating the partner into insomnia treatment as a means of improving outcomes.
