Episode 281: Bedtime restriction instead of pills for primary insomnia

In episode 281, James and Mike welcome back our friend and colleague Bruce Arroll to talk about a great study he and his colleagues recently completed looking at simple bedtime restriction for the treatment of primary insomnia – and the results were pretty impressive.

Show notes

2) A double-blind randomised controlled study of a brief intervention of bedtime restriction for adult patients with primary insomnia
