Pilot study demonstrates minimal change in emotion regulation after cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia compared to controls.

This study aims to investigate how cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia affects emotion regulation in patients.
Quasi-experimental design comparing 15 patients undergoing a 6-week CBT-I program with 15 matched controls.
Self-report measures of emotion regulation, insomnia severity, and hyperarousal were administered at baseline and after six weeks.
Age was included as a covariate due to residual group differences.
CBT-I significantly reduced insomnia severity compared to controls (exact metrics not provided).
No large impact was observed on emotion regulation difficulties or hyperarousal after treatment.
Findings are preliminary and require validation in larger samples.

Soukupová et al. (2026) studied this question.
