“Better Sleep Means I’m Better Able to Provide Care”: Caregivers’ Perceived Impacts of an Internet-Delivered Insomnia Intervention
Caregivers reported wide-ranging benefits from CBT-I beyond improved sleep. Despite the untailored nature of this intervention, several caregivers described positive impacts on their caregiving capabilities and outlook, resulting from the program helping them to improve their sleep and self-care more broadly. These results suggest that framing caregiver-focused health interventions as important to both caregivers and care recipients may increase caregivers' uptake of such resources.
