Abstract

This study examined how insomnia treatment impacts reward motivation and chronotype. Participants with depression and insomnia symptoms completed 6 weeks of CBT-I and pre/post assessments of chronotype and reward processing. Insomnia and depression significantly improved, and chronotype shifted toward morningness. Earlier baseline chronotype was associated with increased reward motivation post-treatment.
