This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial tests a new behavioral therapy called Acceptance of the Behavioral Changes to Treat Insomnia (ABC-I) for veterans who struggle with both insomnia and PTSD. The study compares this new treatment to the standard therapy for insomnia, called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), to see which one works better at improving sleep and reducing trauma symptoms.
Many veterans with PTSD have severe sleep problems, and while therapy can help, existing treatments are often long and complicated, making them hard to use. This trial is testing whether the new treatment might be simpler, more effective, and easier for veterans to stick with.

You would be randomly assigned to receive either the new ABC-I therapy or the standard CBT-I therapy for insomnia. Both treatments involve meeting with a therapist for behavioral sessions focused on improving your sleep and managing trauma symptoms. You would attend sessions at one of the VA facilities in the Los Angeles area and complete baseline assessments and follow-up evaluations to measure how well the treatment works for you.
