The current study aims to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of a digital application-based CBTi treatment devised for adults with ADHD and insomnia compared to self-monitoring and sleep hygiene control condition.

Not Applicable
Participants would be randomly assigned to the experimental or sleep diary self-monitoring (control) group. Participants in the experimental group would use a digital application for seven weeks, whereas participants in the control group would watch psychoeducation videos on sleep hygiene and enter sleep diary measures using the application for seven weeks. Question 1: Does dCBTi work better than the active control? Hypothesis 1: Improvement in insomnia (immediately after treatment and at 1-month follow-up) would be greater for the experimental group than the active control group. Question 2: Does improvement in insomnia due to dCBTi lead to improvement in ADHD outcomes? Hypothesis 2: Improvement in ADHD outcomes would be greater for the experimental group than the active control group. The effect of dCBTi on ADHD outcomes would be mediated by improvement in insomnia. Question 3: Does improvement in insomnia due to dCBTi lead to improvement in mental well-being? Hypothesis 3: Improvement in outcomes related to mental well-being would be greater for the experimental group than the active control group. The effect of dCBTi on outcomes related to mental well-being would be mediated by improvement in insomnia.}}
