Summary

This trial will compare the sleep and health of veterans with COPD and insomnia who receive internet-based behavioral treatment for insomnia during home-based pulmonary rehabilitation, versus those who only receive rehabilitation.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Veterans aged 40+ with COPD and moderate to severe insomnia, who have stable health conditions, access to the internet, and haven't been in pulmonary rehab recently. It's not for those with certain sleep disorders, very severe sleep apnea, extreme daytime sleepiness, restrictive lung diseases like asthma or plans to move soon.
What is being tested?
The study tests if adding an Internet-based treatment for insomnia to home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (HBPR) helps improve sleep and health more than HBPR alone. Participants will be randomly placed into two groups: one receiving both treatments and the other only HBPR.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral therapy via the internet rather than medication, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort from discussing personal issues or temporary increases in anxiety as new skills are learned.
