Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This randomized controlled trial compares a CBTi-based self-help book against standard sleep hygiene advice for patients prescribed hypnotics by general practitioners. The study reports that the self-help book group showed reduced daily hypnotic use and anxiety levels compared to the sleep hygiene group, which experienced increases in these metrics. Both groups reported lowered insomnia symptoms, while depression levels remained unchanged across both interventions.
