| Abstract: | The letter to the editor of "Behavioral Sleep Medicine" discusses the need for standardization in reporting measures and outcomes in insomnia randomized controlled trials (RCTs). While guidelines exist for outcome measures in insomnia RCTs, there is still considerable variation in how outcomes are reported, including the lack of reporting key demographic variables. The authors emphasize the importance of adhering to general clinical trial reporting standards and pre-registering studies in clinical trial registries to enhance rigor and reproducibility in insomnia RCTs. The letter highlights the variability in reporting sleep continuity outcomes, questionnaire outcomes, and statistical reporting of outcomes in recent insomnia trials, underscoring the need for standardized guidelines to improve consistency, comparability, and interpretation of results across studies.
