At baseline, a physician provided psychosocial support
and individual sleep hygiene counselling, including discussions
with participants about regular sleep rhythm and
the influence of the following on sleep: normal changes
in sleep patterns related to ageing, conditions of the
bedroom and bed, exercise, eating and alcohol use, coffee
and stimulants prior to sleeping, deep and calm breathing,
and psychic and physical relaxation in bed and, if anxieties
arise, to write them on paper. The physician performed a
clinical examination of each participant and, in agreement
with the participant, determined an individual withdrawal
schedule. Most often the recommended reduction from
the initial BZD daily dose was 50% per week
