Summary
This study tests whether a sleep hygiene education program can improve sleep quality and reduce depression in menopausal women. 500 women will be randomly assigned to receive the education or be in a control group. The program is based on the IMB model and delivered online. The goal is to see if this simple, non-drug approach can help with common menopause symptoms.
