Study Arms (3)

Cognitive Behavioral Group Therapy for Insomnia

EXPERIMENTAL

Includes 6 group sessions (90 minutes each). The groups are led by trained psychologist or nurse of occupational health services. The manualized treatment is based on the general CBT-I model and includes components such as sleep hygiene, relaxation, stimulus control, sleep restriction and cognitive restructuring. In addition, participants receive information on how to schedule sleep, wake and light based on circadian principles while working differently timed shifts.

Behavioral: Cognitive Behavioral Group Therapy for Insomnia

Cognitive Behavioral Self-help Therapy for Insomnia

EXPERIMENTAL

Mainly computerized self-help intervention. Includes an individual session before and after the intervention (30 minutes each) led by trained psychologist or nurse of occupational health services. The self-help treatment is based on the general CBT-I model and includes components such as sleep hygiene, relaxation, stimulus control, sleep restriction and cognitive restructuring. In addition, participants receive information on how to schedule sleep, wake and light based on circadian principles while working differently timed shifts.

Sleep Hygiene Guidance

EXPERIMENTAL

Includes one individual session (60 minutes) led by trained psychologist or nurse of occupational health services. The intervention is based on sleep hygiene guidance.
