Summary

This study tests whether using a mindfulness meditation app at bedtime can help people with chronic insomnia fall asleep faster. Thirty adults with insomnia will be split into three groups: one uses the app with guided meditation, one uses the app without guidance, and one receives only sleep tips. The goal is to see if the app is easy to use and if it improves sleep quality over four weeks.
