Summary

This trial tests if CBT-I helps lower glucose levels in people with prediabetes versus traditional learning.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 22 to 79 with prediabetes and insomnia who have internet access. It's not for those with other sleep disorders, severe skin issues or allergies affecting sensor use, irregular sleep schedules due to shift work, risks from sleep restriction like heavy machinery operation, a BMI over 40, certain medication uses including recent CBT-I therapy or diabetes treatments.
What is being tested?
The study examines if cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) delivered online can lower blood sugar levels in prediabetic individuals compared to standard patient education about health. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two interventions.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not specified but may include discomfort from changes in sleeping habits due to CBT-I techniques and possible skin irritation from continuous glucose monitoring sensors used in the study.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Digital cognitive behavioral therapy (dCBT-I)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
CBT-I is designed to change sleep habits and scheduling factors that affect sleep, and to address misconceptions about sleep and insomnia that perpetuate sleep difficulties. The investigators will employ SHUTi, which is an extensively studied dCBT-I program. SHUTi is intended to improve insomnia symptoms by providing neurobehavioral intervention (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia - CBT-I) in adults with chronic insomnia. It is a six-core internet-delivered CBT-I web-based app that is run through a browser. It is accessible via iPhone/iPad, Android phone/tablet, computer or laptop (any device with a browser). SHUTi follows evidence-based CBT-I principles.
Group II: Patient Education (PE)Active Control1 Intervention
Participants will be given access to a patient education website. It will provide nontailored material about insomnia symptoms; the impact, prevalence, and causes of insomnia; and basic lifestyle, environmental, and behavioral strategies to improve sleep.
