Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Our study will involve one participant group of athletes who will all be exposed to the sleep intervention. The group size will be approximately twenty (20) healthy athletes. Our sleep intervention is a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) protocol that has been developed for use with athletes. The CBT-I intervention will be administered via 5 x 30 min weekly group sessions and will be conducted by an endorsed Sport Psychologist who has professional training in CBT-I (Harley de Vos). The CBT-I intervention will include sleep education, environmental factors, sleep behaviours, cognitive strategies, and relaxation techniques.
To monitor adherence to the intervention, a session attendance checklist will be completed before each session of the CBT-I intervention is administered.
