iSleep&Mood

Patients with depression often experience sleeping problems which may have an affect on their daily activities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is proved effective when treating sleep problems. However,  there is a minority of practitioners who are trained in this treatment option resulting in few patients getting this as a part of their treatment. Pharmacotherapy is a more frequently used option, despite its limited result and several side effects in the long run. An online CBT intervention could possible change this pattern.

The iSleep&Mood study participants got an online treatment for their sleeping problems, next to advice from a practitioner from the eHealth@Mind poli. The recruitment for this research project is now over. The online CBT intervention is currently used in daily practice.
