+Detailed description
The investigators seek to extend the findings of a recent research which demonstrated that treating insomnia has several beneficial effects on employee work outcomes (Barnes, Miller, \& Bostock, in press). In the present study, the investigators propose that the treatment of leader insomnia would beneficially influence leadership, specifically abusive supervision, charismatic leadership, and laissez-faire leadership.

- Online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) (Other): CBT-I is a psychological treatment designed to break the patterns of maladaptive thinking and behavior that maintain insomnia. CBT-I includes a range of techniques including a behavioral component (stimulus control, sleep restriction, relaxation) combined with a cognitive component (managing sleep related worries, the racing mind and intrusive thoughts) and an educational (sleep hygiene) component.
