- Brief Summary
20 to 30% of the general population suffers from chronic insomnia. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the first-line treatment, but unfortunately its implementation is complex. Long waiting times for a consultation / exploration, too short a consultation period, non-reimbursement of specialists and a lack of trained staff make the current care of insomniac patients difficult. Patients are thus treated late, often with heavy drug treatment, dependence on sleeping pills, difficult withdrawal and / or reactive mood disorders. The treatment is therefore limited to advice on sleep hygiene and a restriction of time spent in bed without ultimately intervening in the cognitive domain. Therapeutic education consists of empowering the patient in the management of chronic insomnia through group education workshops. The patient learns the principles of normal sleep, the way in which sleep evolves with aging, the dangers of treatments as well as the rules of sleep hygiene and the behaviors to modify to sleep well. In addition to benefiting from sharing of experience with other patients, therapeutic education makes the care pathway smoother and considerably reduces the long waiting times of the traditional care pathway in consultation.
The study investigators hypothesize that therapeutic education is more effective as a treatment for chronic insomnia than traditional management in individualized consultation (IC). Thus, therapeutic education could constitute an effective alternative to CBT.

- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in total sleeping time between groups Day 28 Change in total sleeping time (minutes) from inclusion
Change in time in bed between groups Day 28 Change in time in bed (minutes) from inclusion
Change in effective sleep Day 28 Time between going to bed and falling asleep (minutes). Average time for the 2 weeks following inclusion versus the 2 weeks preceding the study end measured by actimetry bracelet
Change in sleep latency Day 28 % total sleeping time / time in bed. Average time for the 2 weeks following inclusion versus the 2 weeks preceding the study end measured by actimetry bracelet
Change in intra-sleep time Day 28 Change in time between going to bed and falling asleep (minutes) since inclusion, data collected from patient sleep agenda
Change in anxiety since baseline between groups Month 4 State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Y). Self-questionnaire assessing anxiety-status (AE)
Change in depression since baseline between groups Month 4 Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The total score is obtained by adding the scores of the 13 items. This score will be between 0 and 63. The higher the score, the more depressed the subject is.
Change in quality of life since baseline Month 4 Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep - 16 (DBAS-16). This self-questionnaire is composed of 16 items: Perceived consequences of insomnia (5 items), Worry/impotence about insomnia (6 items), Sleep expectations (2 items), Medication (3 items). The global score is an average of the scores of each item, ranging from 0 to 10. The higher the score, the more dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep
Use of hypnotic drugs between groups Day 28 Yes/no for each type
Use of anxiolytic drugs between groups Day 28 Yes/no for each type
