This is a small pilot study testing whether a brief behavioral treatment for insomnia (BBTI) can help prevent post-traumatic stress disorder and depression after a car accident. The treatment involves four short therapy sessions delivered over video, where you'll learn specific techniques to improve your sleep. Researchers believe that by treating sleep problems early after a trauma, they may be able to prevent more serious psychological problems from developing.
After a traumatic event like a car accident, many people develop sleep problems and post-traumatic stress disorder, but there are few treatments available right now that can prevent these conditions. Sleep problems are very common after trauma, so this study is testing whether treating insomnia early might stop PTSD and depression from developing in the first place.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to receive either four sessions of sleep-focused therapy or four sessions of relaxation training—both delivered by video from your home. Each session will take about an hour, and you'll also keep a simple sleep diary to track how you're sleeping. The study will follow you for several weeks after the sessions end, using surveys and sleep logs to see whether the treatment helped prevent stress-related problems.
