Sleep problems are common in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)1. Internet-based Cognitive behaviour therapy for insomnia (iCBT-I) is considered as an evidence-based treatment for insomnia 2. To date, no Internet-based CBT-I delivered treatment for sleep problems in adolescents with ASD has been undertaken. The objective of the study is to investigate the efficacy and effectiveness of the Internet-based CBT-I for sleep problems in adolescents with ASD.
This trial investigates the behavioural effects of Internet-based Cognitive behaviour therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder with sleep problems. This is a randomised controlled trial.
