The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of using a high technology behavioral training program to improve sleep of older adults who do not only have insomnia, but also often have co-morbid chronic conditions that may contribute to and confound the treatment of their sleep complaint. The basis for this new technology is the use of a low cost 3-D sound-enhanced system developed to train Air Force pilots and shift workers to sleep better.
The aim i s to transfer this technological approach to the geriatric arena and modify its use for geriatric insomnia patients. This will be done by objectively and subjectively comparing a modified Natural Sleep training system to both an established classroom behavioral treatment protocol and a waiting list control.
