Online sleep therapy for first responders and safety workers

This trial tests Internet-Delivered Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Insomnia (ICBTi) — an online sleep improvement program — for first responders and safety workers like police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and correctional workers. You would learn evidence-based skills and strategies to manage sleep difficulties through an online course with support from a therapist. Research shows this type of online therapy works as well as in-person therapy for sleep problems.

First responders and safety workers often experience sleep problems due to shift work, long hours, and exposure to stressful or traumatic events. These sleep difficulties can affect their physical health, mental well-being, and job performance. This trial aims to provide an accessible online treatment option that can reach these workers more easily than traditional face-to-face therapy.
