Abstract

The present study is to study the effect of cognitive behaviour therapy on various sleep parameters and circadian phase rhythmic in young college going adults. Fifty young college going adults were chosen from the MBBS and BDS students of King George's Medical University Lucknow, their polysomnography was conducted along with it salivary melatonin estimation was conducted to find the time of Dim light melatonin onset (DLMO), the subjects were administered cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT),after completing the sessions of cognitive behaviour therapy another Polysomnographic study and DLMO estimation was conducted, various sleep parameters were compared before and after the CBT. The study showed an improvement in the steep quality, a decrease in daytime sleepiness along with this total sleep time significantly increased, sleep efficiency also improved and there was a decrease in the REM sleep latency. The Dim light melatonin onset advanced for the subjects and the chronotype showed an inclination towards an earlier timings.

Highlights

  • The present study is to study the effect of cognitive behaviour therapy on various sleep parameters and circadian

  • The Dim light melatonin onset advanced for the subjects and the chronotype showed an inclination towards an earlier timings

  • The changes in different parameters were nearly same for both the genders males showed more significant increase in sleep efficiency compared to females The dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) advanced by nearly 42minutes leading to a circadian phase advancement in the post intervention assessment
