Abstract

Twenty-four inmates in a Federal Penitentiary reporting serious sleep problems were assigned to one of three treatment groups: (1) relaxation training, (2) relaxation training/ stimulus-control instructions, (3) delayed treatment control group. Inmates receiving relaxation/ stimulus-control instructions were able to report a significantly greater decrease in the number of nightly awakenings than the control group. Inmates in both treatment groups reported a significant decrease in state anxiety. An eight-week follow-up indicted that treatment effects were not maintained.
