Adult patients with chronic insomnia were recruited from the Sleep Medicine Center of Sichuan Provincial Center for Mental Health. Participants in the training group received 10 sessions of hospital-based happy sensation training group therapy and three months of home exercises. The control group received health instruction. Results included anxiety, depression, and insomnia and were assessed at baseline, 2-week intervention, and 3-month follow-up. Polysomnography was performed at baseline and 2-week intervention. Two-way repeated measure ANOVA and Nonparametric test were used for data analysis. Results: 42 patients in the training group and 43 patients in the control group accomplished 3-month follow-up. There was no significant difference in anxiety, depression, insomnia and sleep Characteristics between training group and control group at baseline (P >0.05).Compared with the control group, anxiety, depression and insomnia were improved in the training group after 2 weeks and at the 3-month follow-up (P <0.05), sleep latency was shortened (P<0.001), and sleep efficiency, total sleep time and N2 phase sleep were increased (P<0.05).Happiness sensation training group can effectively improve the anxiety and depression of chronic insomnia patients, so as to improve insomnia.
