Summary

This study looked at 57 university students with insomnia and compared two programs: mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). Participants attended group sessions over 8 weeks. The researchers found that both programs helped reduce insomnia symptoms and improve mental health, with CBT-I leading to faster improvements right after the program, while MBSR worked just as well three months later.
