Many treatments for prostate cancer can cause significant fatigue and/or problems with memory and concentration. Many treatments for prostate cancer also result in disturbed sleep. Improving sleep may reduce feelings of fatigue and improve memory and concentration. The purpose of this study is to test a wearable device that provides real-time feedback on sleep patterns, instruction on how to improve sleep, and a score that indicates periods of time when fatigue and issues with memory and concentration may be most troublesome. The study also is designed to test a type of treatment (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, CBT-I) that is helpful for people who are experiencing disturbed sleep.

Feasibility as measured by percentage of target sample enrolled
Time frame: Through study completion (an average of 24 months)
Feasibility as measured by percentage of adherence to ReadiWatch wear time over two months
Time frame: Two months
Feasibility as measured by percent attrition for the four teleCBT-I sessions
Time frame: Two months
Change from baseline for participants' ReadiScores
ReadiScores are measured by the SAFTE algorithm developed by the Department of Defense and reflect fatigue and cognitive function (range 0 to 100)
Time frame: one month, two months
Change from baseline for participants' sleep metrics for total sleep time (hours per night)
total sleep time in hours per night measured by the SAFTE algorithm.
Time frame: one month, two months
Change from baseline for participants' sleep metrics for sleep efficiency (total sleep time divided by time in bed)
sleep efficiency equals total sleep time in hours per night divided by time in bed as measured by the SAFTE algorithm.
Time frame: one month, two months
Change from baseline in insomnia severity
Measured by the Insomnia Severity Index (total score ranges from 0-28 with higher scores indicating worse insomnia severity.
Time frame: one months, two months
Change from baseline in sleep quality
Measured by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (7 component scores calculated from 18 items yielding a global score. Higher scores indicate worse sleep quality
Time frame: one months, two months
Change from baseline in cancer related fatigue, anxiety, depression, and health related quality of life
Measured by items and total score on the Patient Reported Outcomes Management System-29+2 (PROPr). Likert style items with variable ranges, raw scores converted to T-scores and standard deviations.
Time frame: one months, two months
