  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

This study is for adults with cancer who have trouble sleeping, known as insomnia. Insomnia can mean having a hard time falling asleep, waking up a lot during the night, or waking up too early. It can make you feel very tired and affect your quality of life. The study compares two treatments: **BBT-CI** (Brief Behavioral Therapy for Cancer Insomnia) and **HEAL** (Healthy Eating Education Learning). Both involve video or phone sessions with a trained staff member. The goal is to see which treatment helps reduce insomnia better. Participants will be in the study for about 6 months.

Key Points:

  • Eligibility: Must have cancer (stage I-IV) and be 18 or older, currently receiving cancer treatment, and report sleep problems.
  • Ineligible if you have certain sleep disorders or are in another insomnia therapy program.
  • Participation includes video or phone sessions and follow-up for 6 months.
