Sleep is essential not only for your physical health, but also for your emotional well-being. A recent study showed improvement in sleep from mindfulness training.
UCLA researchers randomly assigned a small group of 49 volunteers, aged 55 and older, who suffered from moderate sleep issues to receive training in mindfulness meditation or in improving basic sleep habits. The meditation didn’t require a mantra.
At the end of the study, volunteers from the meditation group showed greater improvement in sleep quality compared to those who had learned other ways to improve sleep. Further, meditation seemed to improve sleep better than sleep medications, based on findings from previous research.
If you are new to mindfulness training and are interested in receiving some instruction, one of my favorite handouts is available free at basic Vipassana Instructions.
This week, consider beginning or improving mindfulness training in your life. Great benefits are only a good night’s sleep away….
