title: The better weight-better sleep study: a pilot intervention in primary care.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the feasibility of integrating sleep management interventions with dietary and exercise interventions for obesity in a 12-week randomized trial.
  
  
  METHODS
  We randomized 49 overweight or obese adult patients either to a better weight (BW) cognitive  behavioral intervention, or to a combination of the BW intervention and a better sleep intervention, better weight-better sleep (BWBS).
  
  
  RESULTS
  The BWBS group lost weight faster (P=.04), and coping self-efficacy accelerated (P=.01).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These preliminary results merit  replication in a larger primary care-based trial with a longer continuous intervention and follow-up period.
