First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a mindfulness-based program (Nite2Day) for women with breast cancer who have trouble sleeping. Participants learn strategies to cope with insomnia, fatigue, stress, and pain during six remote sessions with a therapist. The goal is to see if the program is practical and helpful for women in rural areas with limited access to care.
