Integrating digital behavioural therapy for insomnia into primary care: A feasibility mixed-methods study.

Digital cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia has been developed to increase capacity and scalability for patients with insomnia, but implementation in primary care remains limited. The aim of the trial was to evaluate the implementation of digital insomnia therapy into primary care practice for patients with insomnia. We conducted a single-arm feasibility trial of digital behavioural therapy for insomnia (SleepFix) providing sleep restriction therapy with insomnia patients in primary care.

Validating the CogSleep Screener in older adults at a memory and cognition clinic.

While sleep disturbances are prevalent in older people and are linked with poor health and cognitive outcomes, screening for the range of sleep disturbances is inefficient and therefore not ideal nor routine in memory and cognition clinic settings. We aimed to develop and validate a new brief self-report questionnaire for easy use within memory and cognition clinics. The design for this study was cross-sectional.

Assessing sleep architecture and cognition in older adults with depressive symptoms attending a memory clinic.

Background: While depression is intrinsically and bidirectionally linked with both sleep disturbance and cognition, the inter-relationships between sleep, cognition, and brain integrity in older people with depression, especially those with late-onset depression are undefined.

Methods: One hundred and seventy-two older adults (mean age 64.3 ± 6.
