This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a therapy called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), with or without nightmare treatment, helps people recover better sleep and reduce nightmares after experiencing violence. The study will compare this therapy to basic sleep education. Researchers want to see if the more intensive therapy helps people heal faster after a traumatic event.
After experiencing violence, many people struggle with sleep problems and nightmares, which can make their recovery harder. This study is testing whether early, specialized sleep therapy can help prevent these problems from becoming long-lasting.

You will be randomly assigned to either receive the specialized sleep and nightmare therapy or to receive basic sleep education. If you're assigned to the therapy group, you'll work with a trained clinician on techniques to improve your sleep and manage nightmares. If you're in the education group, you'll receive information about healthy sleep habits. Both groups will likely involve outpatient visits (not hospital admission) and follow-up contact by phone or email to track your progress.
