Abstract
Introduction: Chronic insomnia negatively impacts sleep quality, daytime functioning, and overall quality of life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and pharmacotherapy are common treatments, yet their comparative efficacy and long-term outcomes require further investigation. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 150 participants divided into CBT-I (n=50), pharmacotherapy (n=50), and control (n=50) groups. Sleep parameters (sleep onset latency, total sleep time, wake after sleep onset) and daytime functioning (ISI, WHOQOL-BREF) were measured at baseline, post-treatment, and 3 months follow-up. Adherence to interventions was also assessed.
