Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - digital CBT-I
Other interventions - Online Sleep Health Education package

Experimental: Digital Cognitive Behavioural therapy for insomnia - Participants will receive a commercially available 6-week, online media-rich course of CBT-I delivered by an animated "virtual therapist" (Sleepio). Treatment content of this intervention includes behavioural components (sleep restriction, stimulus control, and relaxation), cognitive components (paradoxical intention, cognitive restructuring, mindfulness, positive imagery, and 'putting the day to rest') and educational components (psychoeducation and sleep hygiene). Each of the 6 sessions lasts \~ 30 minutes and incorporates an initial progress review in relation to individualised goals, and exploration of self-reported diary data relating to the participant's current sleep status and pattern. The full program can be accessed via a website or iOS app. Participants will have access to the intervention for up to 12 weeks.

Active comparator: Sleep Health Education wait-list control - Those in the control group will have access to three modules of the Sleep Health Education package following completion of baseline questionnaires. Each module will be delivered fortnightly with basic information about sleep health (e.g. the impact of sleep on health, creating a sleep-conducive bedroom, sleep and mood). Participants will receive a link to access each module as they are made available.

At trial completion (week 12), control participants will be offered the opportunity to engage with digital CBT-I.


Treatment: Devices: digital CBT-I
Sleepio is a digital cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program designed to treat insomnia. The program is fully automated, and its underlying algorithms drive the delivery of information, support, and advice.

Other interventions: Online Sleep Health Education package
Wait-listed control participants will have full access to three online modules for the duration of the study. The information in these modules will provide non-tailored basic sleep information and content will contain text and basic images but will not be personalised to the individual participant.
