Brief summary (from the registry)
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of 6-weeks of relaxation acupressure compared to stimulating acupressure or a standard of care on sleep and daytime functioning. Also, to evaluate the ability of teaching acupressure using web-based applications. It is believed that self-administered relaxation acupressure will result in improvements of sleep quality and quantity as compared to stimulating acupressure or a standard of care.
