Targeting Insomnia in School Aged Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Insomnia ChronicAutism Spectrum DisorderChildren with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and insomnia, and their parent(s) will undergo 4 sessions of behavioral therapy for sleep problems followed by 4 bimonthly booster sessions. Children and their families will be randomly assigned to one of three conditions: cognitive behavioral therapy (in-person), cognitive behavioral therapy (remote), or behavioral therapy (remote). Arousal will be measured through heart-rate variability. Sleep and secondary outcomes (child daytime behavior, parent sleep) will be collected at baseline (weeks 1-2 before starting the treatment), post-treatment (weeks 6-8 from baseline), 6-month follow-up, and 12-month follow-up.
Impact of Insomnia Treatment on Brain Responses During Resting-state and Cognitive Tasks
Chronic InsomniaIndividuals with chronic insomnia have persistent difficulty falling and staying asleep, as well as complaints of altered daytime functioning that may be associated with cognitive impairments. The neural processes underlying these daytime complaints may involve abnormal activation of brain regions and neural networks involved in working memory, memory encoding and emotions. The goal of this study is to assess whether a psychological treatment for insomnia will reverse these abnormalities in brain responses to cognitive tasks and at rest. A secondary objective of the study is to characterize impairments in attentional processing and assess if the impairments can be reversed by the psychological treatment. We hypothesized that the psychological treatment for insomnia will lead to a normalization of the brain responses to working memory, declarative memory encoding, insomnia-related stimuli, and the functional connectivity within the default-mode and limbic networks.
