This study protocol outlines a randomized controlled trial investigating the efficacy of digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) in adolescents aged 14–17. The research compares a 12-week digital CBT-I intervention against sleep hygiene advice, measuring outcomes such as insomnia severity, depression, anxiety, and quality of life. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in the design and methodology of clinical trials addressing adolescent insomnia treatment access.
