SUMMARY
This study will employ cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) among individuals with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) who experience sleep disturbances. The research aims to evaluate the effects of CBT-I on sleep, mTBI symptoms, and, in particular, the ability of individuals with mTBI to engage in their desired daily life activities. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Does CBT-I positively impact symptoms of mTBI? 2. Does CBT-I improve functional performance in individuals with mTBI?

Treatments
Experimental: 15 mTBI cases who have sleep problems will receive CBT-I
We will achieve the study's aims with a single-group, pre-post design (n=15). Participants with physician-diagnosed mild traumatic brain injury who are experiencing sleep problems for more than four weeks will receive cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). Participants will engage in six one-hour, weekly CBT-I sessions delivered in a one-on-one format through the Zoom Video Conference. Participants will establish sleep-related goals. During the intervention session, the interventionist will address the cognitive and behavioral components of CBT-I, as well as relaxation techniques and sleep hygiene.
