Follow-up of a Study Examining Sleep Management in United States Veterans

A Pilot Study of Two Contrasting Intervention Programs for Sleep Management - Part II

The first part of the pilot study, as detailed in Unique Protocol ID No. 27522, is a randomized clinical trial that compares the effects of a mind-body bridging program with a sleep hygiene program to improve sleep quality in patients suffering from sleep disturbances. In Part II of the study, the investigators will perform a six month follow-up on the same subjects.

In this follow-up, we ask subjects to answer the same questionnaires that they completed at the beginning of the study. In addition we will ask subjects to complete a survey reflecting their medical history over the past 6 months and a second survey establishing their behavioral patterns and whether they continued practicing techniques of the intervention they were assigned to.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Have participated in Part I of this study

Exclusion Criteria:

• The patient presents with significant mental health issues, such as severe psychosis or major depression (as verified by the primary care provider) or the patient is under intensive mental health case management.
