Sleep education (in MT/CT)
sleep alterations
Patients attended 2 sessions. The first was an information session on the basics of circadian and basic rest/activity rhythms and sleep. This session aimed to contribute to an enhanced understanding of sleep and fundamental biological rhythms, a better ability to improve the adaption of sleep habits and to improve sleep alterations and daytime functioning. Before the intervention started, patients were first asked to fill out a sleep diary. After their first session on sleep hygiene information and recommendation of sleep restriction and stimulus control to improve rest/activity synchronization they were asked again to fill out a second sleep diary to have a basis for further individualized sleep restriction and adaptation at the second session
