Examining whether Changes in Sleep Habits Predict Long-Term Sustainment of Treatment Gains in Individual Remitted from Insomnia after CBT-I

Examining whether Changes in Sleep Habits Predict Long-Term Sustainment of Treatment Gains in... Objectives Providers of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) are often asked whether the behavioral recommendations (e.g., stimulus control, sleep restriction) must be adhered to ad infinitum. We examined whether changes in sleep habits/behaviors are a life sentence, or whether patients who remit can relax their adherence while maintaining their treatment gains at 1-year follow-up (FU). Methods Participants (N = 179) completed 2 weeks of sleep diaries and measures of insomnia severity and safety behaviors at baseline and following four sessions of CBT-I. Of the 137 patients that achieved remission, 77 completed these measures at 1-year FU. Results Improvements in insomnia severity and total wake time (TWT) at post-treatment were maintained at FU (ps ≥ .52). Similarly, reductions in safety behaviors were maintained at FU (p – 1.00), whereas lingering in bed reduced during treatment (p < .001) but increased at FU (p < .001). Changes in sleep habits after treatment did not predict insomnia severity at FU. However, increases in time in bed positively predicted TWT at FU (p = .001).

Abstract

Objectives Providers of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) are often asked whether the behavioral recommendations (e.g., stimulus control, sleep restriction) must be adhered to ad infinitum. We examined whether changes in sleep habits/behaviors are a life sentence, or whether patients who remit can relax their adherence while maintaining their treatment gains at 1-year follow-up (FU). Methods Participants (N = 179) completed 2 weeks of sleep diaries and measures of insomnia severity and safety behaviors at baseline and following four sessions of CBT-I. Of the 137 patients that achieved remission, 77 completed these measures at 1-year FU. Results Improvements in insomnia severity and total wake time (TWT) at post-treatment were maintained at FU (ps ≥ .52). Similarly, reductions in safety behaviors were maintained at FU (p – 1.00), whereas lingering in bed reduced during treatment (p < .001) but increased at FU (p < .001). Changes in sleep habits after treatment did not predict insomnia severity at FU. However, increases in time in bed positively predicted TWT at FU (p = .001). Conclusions Those who remit after CBT-I may generally relax their adherence to behavioral recommendations without significantly impacting their perceived insomnia symptoms 1 year after treatment despite some increases in TWT. Results increase our confidence in CBT-I as a brief and durable intervention.
