Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Provision of signed and dated informed consent form
- Any gender; Ages 18-65
- Currently employed as a nurse or nursing staff member (e.g., CNA) in the United States
- Currently have shift work schedules (i.e., stable night shift or rotating shifts that include nights, \>=2 nights/week) and have worked shift work \>=2 nights/week for at least 3 months
- Expect to have a shift work schedule \>=2 nights/week over the next 6 months
- endorse poor sleep, as evidenced by T-score \>=60 on the PROMIS Sleep Disturbance OR Sleep-Related Impairment measure
- Have daily access to the internet on a smartphone, table, or computer; and
- Can read and write in English.
Exclusion criteria
- Conditions which make study treatment likely to be ineffective. For example, current chronic use of medications that interfere with sleep, alcohol or substance use disorder, or thought disorder (as determined by DIAMOND psychiatric interview), unstable sleep or medical conditions that necessitate additional medical care not provided by study treatments (e.g., known untreated sleep apnea).
- Presence of safety risk or condition in which study participation may result in increased risk to safety (e.g., elevated risk for suicide, self-reported uncontrolled seizure disorder, history of manic or hypomanic episode, current pregnancy),
- Currently receiving non-pharmacological treatment for insomnia (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia) and/or current unstable hypnotic/alerting medication use OR
- Currently participating in other research studies with substantial overlap in terms of methods/procedures (e.g., PI's ongoing study "Piloting an Adaptation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia for Shift Workers (CBTI-Shift)"

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
