A behavioural training programme for insomnia will be broadcasted by Teleac this fall. This trial will take place before the start of the broadcasting with 3 groups:

1. Each week a DVD is sent to the patient’s home for 6 weeks. Each DVD contains part of the behavioural training programme (25 minutes each) + book that belongs to the this television programme;

2. Same as the first condition without the book;

3. Waiting list control group. These patients may watch the regular television programme later on when broadcasted by Teleac.
