What this could lead to: If effective, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to improve sleep and reduce loneliness in older adults without medication.
What could go wrong: The trial is small (50 participants) and early, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention relies on digital access, which may not suit everyone.
