Well-Being Therapy: Participants will undergo Well-Being Therapy (WBT) sessions once daily for 50 minutes over a period of six weeks. The core elements of WBT include prompting participants to identify instances of well-being, contextualize these experiences using a structured diary, and recognize as well as restructure thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that prematurely disrupt well-being. Additionally, the specific components of the six dimensions of the Psychological Well-Being (PWB) scale-autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relations with others, purpose in life, and self-acceptance-are systematically integrated into different therapy sessions
Sleep Hygiene Education: Participants will receive Sleep Hygiene Education (SHE) alone for 6 weeks. SHE involves education on maintaining consistent sleep schedules, creating a sleep-conducive environment, reducing stimulant use (e.g., caffeine, alcohol), and promoting healthy daily routines to improve sleep quality.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Change from Baseline in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Score at 6 Weeks — Baseline and Week 6 The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a self-report questionnaire designed to evaluate sleep quality over a one-month period. It consists of 19 items grouped into seven components: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction.
Each component is scored on a scale of 0 to 3, and the total score ranges from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating poorer sleep quality.
