Summary

This pilot study tests a tailored sleep health program for family caregivers who live with and assist a loved one with chronic health conditions. The program combines cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and caregiving guidance to improve sleep regularity, timing, efficiency, and satisfaction. Researchers will enroll 31 caregivers to see if the intervention is feasible and effective.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and caregiving guidance
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a practical way to improve sleep and reduce stress for family caregivers.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 31 participants, so results may not apply to all caregivers. The intervention is time-intensive and may not work for everyone.
