Interventions

  • Individualized imagery — BEHAVIORAL
    Study personnel will assist participants to create scripts that foster relaxation and safety. Objects, places, and/or scenarios that foster participant relaxation, sense of safety, and/or positive emotions will be identified. Participants will write or type the generated scenario using highly detailed elements (e.g., including visual, olfactory, auditory, tactile, and gustatory sensations, as applicable) associated with the imagery. Study personnel will assist with recording the imagery scripts; audio files will be recorded using an audio recording application. The imagery scripts will be played at night via Bluetooth earbuds connected to the Muse app and script recording while laying down to sleep. The imagery rehearsal prompts will play for approximately 15 minutes, based on 10-20-minute recommendations across imagery rehearsal therapy (IRT) studies
  • Control — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants will wear the earbuds, with use of Muse S headband to collect outcome data without the individualized imagery scripts.

Study Details

The purpose of this study is to see how feasible is the use of compact EEG and paired audio technology to administer sleep interventions for inpatients with psychosis, to see if individuals that receive individualized technology-based sleep interventions experience improvements in sleep quality and to see if individuals that receive individualized technology-based sleep interventions experience improvements in symptomatology
