Abstract

This study aims to clarify the changes in sleep-related cognitions (SRCs) of voluntary participants by a single sleep lecture (SL) using the DBAS-16 (self-recorded questionnaire for measuring the degree of distortion in SRCs). 402 individuals (64.5 ± 13.4 years old) participated in the SL by a well-trained expert. The baseline DBAS score in participants with insomnia was significantly higher than those without insomnia (82.7 ± 1.6 vs. 72.8 ± 1.9, p = 0.001), which significantly decreased to less than that of those without insomnia after the lecture. Our findings suggested that a single SL has modifying-effects on SRCs in voluntary participants with insomnia.
