Objectives:
To test the feasibility of sleep hygiene education and longitudinal wrist actigraph sleep metrics measurement alone versus in combination with telehealth-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (teleCBT-I) for people with prostate cancer (PC) receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
Sample & Setting:
45 men with PC receiving ADT were recruited from a midwestern comprehensive cancer center.
Methods & Variables:
Participants were provided with wrist actigraphs, their individual sleep metrics data, and sleep hygiene education. Half the sample was randomized to a four-week teleCBT-I intervention. Outcomes were collected at baseline, one month, and two months. Exit interviews were conducted to glean participants' feedback about the study.
Results:
Feasibility was demonstrated. Physical function, sleep efficiency, fatigue, and health-related quality of life improved for participants receiving teleCBT-I.
Implications For Nursing:
Assessment of sleep disturbance, access to sleep hygiene education, and teleCBT-I may benefit people with PC receiving ADT.

Sedatives and Hypnotics Drugs: Miscellaneous Agents
Melatonin congeners like ramelteon (Rozerem) and tasimelteon (Hetlioz) selectively bind to melatonin receptors (MT1 and MT2) and thus mimic the actions of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. Tasimelteon is primarily used for non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder, common in blind patients. They are also used to treat conditions like insomnia...
