Treatments tested in this trial

  • Well-Being Therapy

    Behavioral

    Participants will undergo Well-Being Therapy (WBT) sessions once daily for 50 minutes over a period of six weeks. The core elements of WBT include prompting participants to identify instances of well-being, contextualize these experiences using a structured diary, and recognize as well as restructure thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that prematurely disrupt well-being. Additionally, the specific components of the six dimensions of the Psychological Well-Being (PWB) scale-autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relations with others, purpose in life, and self-acceptance-are systematically integrated into different therapy sessions

  • Sleep Hygiene Education

    Behavioral

    Participants will receive Sleep Hygiene Education (SHE) alone for 6 weeks. SHE involves education on maintaining consistent sleep schedules, creating a sleep-conducive environment, reducing stimulant use (e.g., caffeine, alcohol), and promoting healthy daily routines to improve sleep quality.

Change from Baseline in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Score at 6 Weeks

The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a self-report questionnaire designed to evaluate sleep quality over a one-month period. It consists of 19 items grouped into seven components: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction. Each component is scored on a scale of 0 to 3, and the total score ranges from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating poorer sleep quality.
