"Fort Hood Spotlight" host Julia Connor sits down with Dr. Daniel Taylor, associate professor of psychology at the University of North Texas, to learn about his STRONG STAR-affiliated study at Fort Hood on the treatment of insomnia. The two discuss factors that can lead to or aggravate insomnia, particularly among service members who have deployed. Dr. Taylor also describes how a type of psychological treatment called "cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia" works and how it can have lasting benefits on sleep. He explains that his study is comparing the benefits of in-person versus Internet-based treatment, and what Fort Hood Soldiers can do if they are interested in study participation.
