What would I do in the study?
If you are eligible, you will be asked to:
Do anonymous questionnaires about your sleep quality, fatigue (tiredness), mood, and demographic information
Wear a wrist-watch for 7 days to measure how much sleep you get and your sleep quality
Do 5 short 1 hour therapy sessions for sleep problems online
You will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to start therapy 1 week after answering the questionnaires after birth
Any benefits for me?
Your condition or sleep problems/disturbances may be improved by participating in the study, but there is no guarantee that this research will help you. Although there may or may not be a direct benefit to you, the information we get from this study will help us give better treatments in the future for expectant mothers or pregnant women who have insomnia.
You get an e-gift card each time we assess you. You can get up to $150 in e-gift cards for the whole study, as a thank you for participating.
Does it cost anything?
There is no cost for you; we only ask for your time.
