Each session takes 45-75 minutes to complete, incorporating sleep education, sleep hygiene, stimulus control, sleep restriction, cognitive restructuring and relaxation training. Participants will choose whether they would like to receive the telehealth CBT-I sessions via telephone or online videoconference. Participants will commence the telehealth CBT-I before their second cycle of chemotherapy; this can be before or after their first cycle of chemotherapy. We will measure completion rate of all four sessions.
