TL;DR
Sleep hygiene, relaxation therapy, and some cognitive interventions make a good package that can often be administered conjointly with chronic insomniacs.
Abstract
Sleep hygiene, relaxation therapy, and some cognitive interventions make a good package that can often be administered conjointly. I typically use an individualized mix of them in my initial treatment sessions with chronic insomniacs.

Systematic study of self-reports suggests that an individual's belief systems, expectancies, and assumptions exert a strong influence on his state of well-being, as well as on his directly observable behavior.

It was found that although these depressed women were moderately impaired in their daily lives and interpersonal relationships, their marital relationships became the arena for the depression, and acute depressed women showed an increase in hostility, especially toward their husbands and children.
Clinical Pharmacology & TherapeuticsDose‐related sleep disturbances induced by coffee and caffeine
229 Citations1976Ismet Karacan, John I. Thornby +4 more
It is suggested that coffee and caffeine may be used in normal subjects to induce symptoms mimicking those of insomnia and such a tool should promote further understanding of insomnia.
SLEEPExercise and Sleep: Body-Heating Effects
209 Citations1983James Horne, Lrc Staff
It was concluded that a high and sustained rate of body heating for 1-2 h, particularly the inherent rapid rates of core temperature increase and of body dehydration, may trigger a SWS response, and that exercise may simply be a vehicle for these effects.

170 Citations1985James A. Horne, Annalee Reid
Six healthy female volunteers (22-24 years), physically untrained (unfit), sat in baths of warm or cool water for 90 min, between 14.30 h and 17.

147 Citations1981Peter Hauri
Insomniacs treated with the biofeedback that seemed appropriate for their specific deficiencies showed significant sleep improvements, while those who received inappropriate feedback did not.
PsychopharmacologyAlcohol and sleep in young adults
120 Citations1972O. H. Rundell, Boyd K. Lester +2 more
The results are consistent with conclusions of previous investigators that the depressant effects on EEG sleep patterns of a moderate dose of alcohol are due to its direct action on the brain.
Experimental NeurologyEffects of food deprivation on sleep and wakefulness in the rat
94 Citations1971Barry L. Jacobs, Dennis McGinty
The effects of prolonged total food deprivation on paradoxical sleep (PS), slow-wave sleep (SWS), and wakefulness were studied in male albino rats and found that on the day after the return to ad libitum food, PS increased substantially above control level while SWS remained below control.

86 Citations1982Peter Hauri, Linda Percy +3 more
Both Theta and SMR feedback seemed effective treatments of insomnia according to home sleep logs and evaluations at the sleep laboratory, while those who were relaxed at intake but still could not sleep benefited only from SMR but not from Theta feedback.
Archives of General PsychiatrySleep of Dry Alcoholics
85 Citations1973John Adamson
Ten alcoholics who had been dry for one to two years were subjects in this electroencephalographic sleep study and the subject sample was biased toward representing dry alcoholicsWho sleep well, which may have contributed to the under-reporting of abnormalities.

Applied Psychophysiology and BiofeedbackA comparison of relaxation techniques with electrosleep therapy for chronic, sleep-onset insomnia
77 Citations1980Robert D. Coursey, Bernard L. Frankel +2 more
Two methods of relaxation therapy, electromyograph biofeedback and autogenic training, were compared to a nonrelaxation treatment, electrosleep therapy, in reducing sleep latency among 22 chronic, sleep-onset insomniacs.

72 Citations1982Perry M. Nicassio, Marlene B. Boylan +1 more
The clinical improvement in the biofeedback placebo group suggests that expectancies related to the ability to relax may contribute to the therapeutic effectiveness of relaxation strategies, even with chronic, severely disturbed insomniacs.

The effects on sleep of a hot drink of milk and Horlicks were compared with those of hot water taken before retiring by medical student volunteers and it was found that Horlicks reduced the number of small movements made during sleep.

Most studies do not suggest a causal link between weight change and sleep disturbance, but by inference regard these features as being more integral aspects of an underlying biological factor which also promotes the disturbed mood.
