Read our Depression research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether online cognitive behavioral therapy—a proven talk therapy approach—can help U.S. military veterans who are struggling with both sleep problems and depression at the same time. You would get access to a self-guided online program (on a computer or phone app) with support from a coach, and researchers will see which approaches work best for you personally.
While therapy for sleep problems and depression each work well on their own, many people still have leftover symptoms when treating both conditions together. Many veterans, especially those in rural areas, cannot easily reach in-person therapy. This study aims to figure out which type of online program—or which combination and order of programs—helps each person the most.

You would join one of five groups: some receive online sleep therapy, some receive online mood therapy, some receive both therapies in a specific order, or some receive a simple mood-tracking app as a comparison. All of this happens on your computer or phone at home. You'll spend 12 weeks using your assigned program and checking in with a coach, then complete surveys at the beginning, middle, end, and again at 3 and 6 months afterward to see how much your sleep and mood improve.
