Mindfulness: A New Approach to Insomnia in Older Adults

Insomnia, the elusive sleep thief, can significantly impact quality of life, particularly in older adults. While traditional therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) have shown promise, there's a growing interest in exploring alternative approaches. This study investigates the efficacy of mindfulness-based therapy for insomnia (MBTI) in improving sleep outcomes in older adults.

Researchers compared MBTI to a sleep hygiene, education, and exercise program (SHEEP) in a randomized clinical trial. The results suggest that MBTI may offer a valuable addition to the arsenal of treatments for insomnia in older adults. While the findings require further investigation, they hint at the potential benefits of mindfulness in promoting healthy sleep patterns.
