Summary
This study is testing whether an 8-week mindfulness program can help hospital staff and older adults sleep better and feel less depressed. Researchers will measure changes in sleep quality, depressive symptoms, and well-being using questionnaires and overnight sleep tests. The goal is to see if this low-cost, non-drug approach can improve mental health in these groups.
