A Randomized Controlled Trial Testing the Effect of Mindfulness Practices Versus Sleep Education on Sleep and Inflammation Among Older Adults With Sleep Problems
The primary aim of the study is to test the effect of mindfulness training on subjective
(self-report, sleep diary) and objective (wrist actigraphy) sleep parameters among older
adults with sleep problems
The secondary aims are to examine if changes in mindfulness meditation practice (daily log)
and level of mindfulness (self-report) are associated with changes in sleep parameters, and
to determine if mindfulness training is associated with in vitro biological markers of
peripheral inflammation
