New research study investigates treatment of sleep disturbances in individuals with insomnia and depression

Monash university is looking for men and women who are currently being prescribed with antidepressants and continue to have ongoing sleep and mood difficulties. The aim of the research is to investigate the effectiveness of sleep education and cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) at improving sleep and mood in individuals meeting criteria for both chronic insomnia and Major Depressive Disorder. The project will involve undergoing a screening session to determine your eligibility, four 50-minute sessions of either CBT-I or sleep education, and the monitoring of your sleep-wake behaviour (by completing questionnaires and sleep diaries, as well as wearing a watch that measures your quality of sleep).
