Previous research involving people living with HIV has found that
sleep disturbances are among the most troubling aspects of HIV selfmanagement,
with 35% of subjects desiring interventions to improve
sleep quantity and quality (Webel, Dolansky, Henry, & Salata, 2012).
Nonetheless, few studies have examined how to improve healthy
sleep in this group, particularly through behavioral sleep hygiene
interventions (Phillips & Branson, 2009; Reid & Dwyer, 2005).
