Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the improvement in insomnia patients using Relaxation Training, and to use the Generalized Estimating Equation model (GEE-I) to analyze the results of repeated measurements and observe the difference between the subjective perception and the objective measurement of sleep duration.
Methods: There were 24 subjects diagnosed as insomnia who completed the treatment course and 5 times evaluation. Of the 24 subjects, 7 accepted the sleep electroencephalogram (EEG). Relaxation training shortened the duration of sleep onset time and decreased the frequency of night awakening.
Of 47 qualified subjects, 24 volunteers took part in this study after the researchers had explained the study process.The patients were asked to keep a sleep diary. In the diaries, they recorded the time they went to bed and fell asleep, the duration to sleep onset (from "go to the bed" to "fall asleep"), the frequency of night waking, the time of getting up, and any medication history. Patients were instructed to perform the treatment in the evening, preferably just before bedtime, total time was 15 minutes.The patients recorded their sleep conditions every day and underwent relaxation training intervention for 4 weeks.

All insomnia patients were asked to complete the insomnia scales. The goals and processes of relaxation training were explained by therapists. The patients were asked to record data before relaxation training, inclusive of all sleep durations, the frequency of night waking, the time needed to fall asleep, and medication history. The insomnia scales were completed again one week later, and the relaxation training started in the second week. The patients recorded their sleep conditions every day and underwent relaxation training intervention for 4 weeks. They were treated similarly, four times in total.
