Brief Summary
Sleep disturbance is recognized as a major problem for patients with psychosis and is seen in nearly all patients admitted in acute crisis to a psychiatric hospital. Cognitive behavioral treatment is recommended as first-line treatment for insomnia in national and international guidelines. This study explores effect of adapting the milieu therapy to comply with the principles of CBT for insomnia. Our aim is to rethink our day to day psychological interventions and our around the clock milieu therapy for patients with acute and severe mental illness in light of established knowledge on how sleep is obtained and maintained.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Assessment of sleep
Nursing staff report hours of sleep and number of awakening based on their observations which are recorded in the clinical record by night staff. All patients who receive treatment will be offered the opportunity to keep a sleeping diary for psycheducative purposes. The patients who are able to, will fill out the Insomnia Severity Index which is a brief instrument for assessment of sleep disturbances. In addition all patients, except those who cannot wear one for security reasons, will be offered an actigraph which provides the patient with a clear picture of their sleeping pattern. Relevant data from these actigraphs will be noted in the patients' clinical records.
