Abstract
A prototype of Sleep Coach was developed to resolve long-lasting problems of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia patients: low compliance and low levels of patient feedback. Sleep Coach, designed to function like an ordinary book, provides a diary module to remind patients to log sleep-related activities and a training module for helping patients practice relaxation techniques. From the tests in a sleep lab, we found users will naturally work with Sleep Coach, and that use of the training module can result in a significantly reduced pulse rate, which indicates better relaxation.
