=== APA-Style Report ===
A generalized linear mixed model(GLMM) with binomial family(logit link)
was used to analyze insomnia remission over 8 weeks, accounting for repeated
measures with random intercepts for subjects. The model included fixed effects
of time(week), treatment(CBT-I vs control), and their interaction.

Results showed a significant time × treatment interaction(z = 2.50, p = .012),
indicating that CBT-I produced greater improvement over time than control.
At week 8, CBT-I patients had 72% remission rate(95% CI [63%, 80%]) compared
to 44% in controls(95% CI [35%, 53%]). The odds ratio for CBT-I vs control at
week 8 was 3.2 (95% CI [1.5, 6.8]), indicating CBT-I patients had 3.2 times
higher odds of remission. The intraclass correlation was .16, indicating 16%
of variance in remission was due to between-subject differences.

These findings support CBT-I as an effective treatment for insomnia, with
clinically meaningful improvements emerging by week 8.
