Summary

This trial is testing two therapies to help manage insomnia for people in treatment for alcohol use disorder, which can impact sleep quality and daytime functioning.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with alcohol use disorder who have been sober for less than 12 weeks and also struggle with chronic insomnia. Participants need video chat access, can travel to Ann Arbor for sleep assessments, and are enrolling in an abstinence program. Those with bipolar, psychotic disorders, PTSD, pregnancy plans during the study or severe illnesses causing insomnia cannot join.
What is being tested?
The M-STAR Study is testing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi) versus Sleep Hygiene Education (SHE) to see which better improves sleep and daytime functioning in individuals undergoing treatment for alcohol use disorder.
What are the potential side effects?
Since both interventions involve therapy without medication, side effects may be minimal but could include temporary increases in stress or anxiety as participants adjust to new sleep routines.
