Summary

This study explores whether attending free community events in renovated neighborhood parks can improve sleep, stress, mood, and overall well-being in adults aged 18 and older who live nearby. Participants wear a smart ring to track sleep and complete surveys over about six months. The goal is to see if social and physical activities in green spaces can enhance health.

What this could lead to
