Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Metabolomic Assays2 weeks post-treatment (week 10 on average)

Blood samples will be collected 2 weeks following the completion of CBT-I to examine metabolic markers of response to CBT-I. We will use NMR Spectroscopy to examine serum metabolite changes in patients with insomnia before and after CBT-I, in comparison with therapy control.

Insomnia Severity Index3 months post-treatment (week 20 on average)

A 7-item (0-4 Likert scale) measure with a total score of 28. The norms for the scale are: 0-7 represents no clinically significant insomnia; 8-14 represents sub-threshold insomnia; 15-21 represents clinical insomnia (moderate severity); 21-28 represents clinical insomnia (severe). The Insomnia Severity Index, the primary outcome of Aim 1, demonstrates good internal consistency (alpha=.74) and is routinely used as the primary outcome measure in insomnia RCTs.
