The purpose of this study was to explore perceptions of the first dose of a cognitive behavioral sleep self-management intervention (CB-sleep) among young adults aged 18 to 25 years with type 1 diabetes (T1D). We used a qualitative descriptive approach to conduct in-depth semi-structured focused interviews with a purposive sample of 16 young adults with T1D, transitioning from adolescence to early adulthood. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Participants described their sleep knowledge (previous, new, and additional), sleep health goals, along with barriers and facilitators of the CB-sleep intervention. Based on these results, we suggest CB-sleep is a useful modality with the potential to support sleep self-management in young adults with T1D during this complex life transition. Furthermore, CB-sleep could be incorporated into an existing diabetes self-management education and support program after pilot testing and determining efficacy to improve sleep and glycemic health.
