Summary
This completed Phase 2 trial tested whether a personalized mind-body program could improve sleep in 60 women aged 40–60 who work in healthcare and report short sleep. Participants tried 30-minute sessions of mindfulness, yoga, and guided walking in different orders over 12 weeks. Sleep was tracked with Fitbits and surveys. The goal was to see if these activities could add meaningful minutes to nightly sleep.
