Adolescence is a critical transitional stage characterised by a cascade of developmental changes in biological, cognitive, and psychological functioning. Sleep problems, particularly insomnia, are prevalent in adolescents, with a prevalence rate as high as 36%. Insomnia symptoms, presented as the problems initiating sleep or maintaining sleep, have often been reported in association with adverse outcomes in adolescents, including an increased risk of developing depression, anxiety, interpersonal problems, somatic health problems, self-harm and suicidal ideation. This study tests the efficacy of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) in reducing insomnia severity in youth with insomnia.

| digital CBTI | Behavioral | The app-based intervention will consists of 6 weekly sessions and will be delivered within a 10-week window. The treatment components aim to address the behavioural, cognitive and physiological factors perpetuating insomnia whilst considering the sleep and circadian features in adolescents and developmental context with the following key elements: psycho-education about sleep, circadian rhythm and sleep hygiene, stimulus control, sleep restriction, relaxation training, structured worry time, cognitive restructuring (targeting sleep-related dysfunctional cognitions), and relapse prevention |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Change of insomnia symptoms | Insomnia symptoms measured by Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). ISI is a 7-item self-rated scale. Possible scores range from 0 to 28, with higher scores indicating higher insomnia severity. | Baseline, Post-Treatment (one-week after completion of the intervention/waiting period) for all participants, and additional two follow-ups at Post-Treatment 6-month and Post-Treatment 12-month for participants in the treatment groups |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Change in Sleep Quality | Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a self-rated scale consisting of 19 questions. All items are combined to form seven component scores on different aspects of sleep quality, each of which ranges from 0 to 3 points with higher scores representing more sleep disturbance. The seven component scores are added to one global score, which ranges from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating more difficulties with sleep. |

There are four conditions: neutral-watch, negative-watch, negative-reappraisal, negative-distraction. After each picture, subjective emotional valence and arousal ratings (ranging from 1-9) will be collected. To examine the subjects' different emotion regulation ability, valence and arousal ratings will be analysed by comparing different conditions, groups, and time (pre/post-treatment). | Time Frame: Baseline, Post-Treatment (one-week after completion of the intervention/waiting period) for all participants |
