Abstract

The authors examined sleep improvement in subjects with primary insomnia who received triazolam plus behavioral therapy (N = 8) or triazolam plus sleep-related information (N = 7). At follow-up, total sleep and restedness in the morning showed greater improvement with combined triazolam-behavioral therapy and returned toward baseline in the control subjects.
