Randomised Evaluation of Sleep in Cognitive Impairment Trial (REST)—Protocol for a Feasibility Study of a Digital Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia Intervention
Overview
This protocol outlines a pilot randomised controlled feasibility study evaluating the acceptability and adherence of Sleepio, a digital cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia, in adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia. The research targets clinicians and researchers by assessing recruitment, retention, and potential clinical effects on sleep and cognition over ten weeks. It aims to inform the design of future definitive trials and explore dCBT-I as a scalable adjunct to standard memory clinic care.
