To clarify the specific effects of self-monitoring in brief behavioral intervention by correspondece, two kinds of behavioral treatment were used. Group M (n = 70) consisted of bibliotherapy, selfchecking for habits, goal-setting, self-monitoring and operant reinforcement. In group B (n = 18), self-monitoring was excluded from these components. As a result, total sleep time and three kinds of sleep qualities improved in both group M and group B participants. The improvements of sleep latency, sleep efficiency, sleep-related habits and program-adherence rates were better in group M participants. These results suggested that self-monitoring might improve sleep-related behaviors and program adherence.
