This biomedical research psychotherapeutic assessment will be randomized, controlled versus psychoeducation and conducted in 46 patients with chronic primary insomnia (defined according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-5) for which a supported by BCT-I is indicated.

The 46 patients will be randomized into two groups. The subjects in Group 1 will be supported by BCT-I online. And the subjects in group 2 will receive psychoeducation. All patients will be followed by the research team for three months, during which 3 visits (V0 = pre-selection; V1 = visit of randomization and start of the program; V2 = 3 months follow-up visit and end of the study) will be performed in the University Hospital Sleep Disorder Unit of Montpellier.
