Summary

This study looked at 57 university students with insomnia and compared two 8-week programs: mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). Researchers measured how each program affected sleep quality, stress, anxiety, and mood. The goal was to see if both approaches could help students sleep better and feel healthier.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that both MBSR and CBT-I are effective options for improving sleep and mental health in university students with insomnia.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 57 participants, so results may not apply to all students. The study also relied on self-reported outcomes, which can be biased.
