Sponsor's own description

Introduction. Sleep problems are a health issue worldwide. Based on the Person-Environment-Occupation-Performance model and the theory of occupational balance, we developed an occupation-based sleep program to address several objectives by lifestyle intervention: 1) minimize the influence of bodily function on sleep; 2) promote an environment conductive to sleep; and 3) restructure daytime activity with a focus on occupational balance through psychoeducation and lifestyle coaching.

Method. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an occupation-based sleep intervention on sleep pattern, mood, and occupational balance among community-dwelling adults with insomnia when compared with other, more usual, forms of treatment, typically focused on education, sleep hygiene, and relaxation. A total of 42 subjects were recruited: 22 for the intervention group and 20 for the treatment as usual group.
