Sleep training for adults prevents depression, study finds

Undergoing cognitive behavioral sleep training, which teaches you how to break bad habits in order to prepare your mind and body for a good night's sleep, may help prevent depression in older adults with insomnia, a new clinical trial has found.

"What is exciting about these findings is that they are among the first to demonstrate that treating insomnia with a behavioral strategy, not a pill, can prevent the development of depression in older adults," said sleep specialist Wendy Troxel, a senior behavioral scientist at RAND Corporation, who was not involved in the study.

The study's findings are "highly significant" because major depression is very common among older adults and "is associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline, disability, suicide and all-cause mortality," Troxel added.
