In the present study, a hypnotic relaxation technique was compared to stimulus control and placebo conditions as a means of reducing sleep onset latency (SOL). Forty-five subjects (Ss) were matched on their baseline SOL as measured through sleep diaries. They were randomly assigned to one of three groups: hypnotic relaxation; stimulus control; and placebo. These groups experienced four weekly sessions of 30-minutes duration with demand effects being controlled through the use of counter-demand instructions. Data generated by the study suggested that the particular hypnotic relaxation treatment used was effective in helping Ss go to sleep more quickly. Neither stimulus control nor placebo groups recorded similar improvement.
在本研究中，将一种催眠放松技术与刺激控制和安慰剂条件进行比较，作为减少入睡潜伏期（SOL）的一种手段。通过睡眠日记测量，45名受试者（Ss）在其基线SOL上进行了匹配。他们被随机分配到三组中的一组：催眠放松组；刺激控制组；安慰剂组。这些组每周进行四次，每次持续30分钟的疗程，通过使用反需求指令来控制需求效应。该研究产生的数据表明，所使用的特定催眠放松疗法有效地帮助受试者更快入睡。刺激控制组和安慰剂组均未记录到类似的改善。
