That is why this study will investigate the efficacy and feasibility of an online ACT intervention for insomnia among college students. Specifically, Is an online ACT for college students effective in treating insomnia? And, is an online ACT for college students feasible and acceptable in treating insomnia? Participants will be randomized into one of two conditions: waitlist or online ACT guide. Participants will receive questionnaires at baseline, post-treatment (4 weeks), and 1-month follow up.
