Insomnia Type; Sleep Disorder

The purpose of this study is to identify if healthy cookies high in linoleic acid can change sleep quality and sleep architecture, blood fatty acid composition and be consumed with high compliance after eight weeks of consumption. The hypothesis is that consumption of healthy cookies for 8 weeks will improve sleep quality, increase linoleic acid in the blood and be consumed with greater than 80% compliance.

This study evaluates two behavioral treatments for patients with insomnia disorder: Bedtime Restriction Therapy (BRT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). Both therapies aim to improve the clinical symptomatology of insomnia by teaching participants techniques to better manage their sleep schedule and habits. BRT is a simpler and shorter therapy focused on aligning the time spent in bed with reported sleep time. CBT-I includes additional components such as relaxation techniques and cognitive exercises. The study will compare these treatments to see if BRT is as effective as CBT-I in improving the clinical symptomatology of insomnia.
