![]() Additionally, there was moderate strength of evidence that mindfulness meditation interventions significantly improved sleep quality compared with nonspecific active controls at postintervention (ES 0.33 (95% CI 0.17-0.48)) and at follow-up (ES 0.54 (95% CI 0.24-0.84)). At posttreatment and follow-up, there was low strength of evidence that mindfulness meditation interventions had no effect on sleep quality compared with specific active controls (ES 0.03 (95% CI -0.43 to 0.49)) and (ES -0.14 (95% CI -0.62 to 0.34)), respectively. We determined the strength of evidence using four domains (risk of bias, directness of outcome measures, consistency of results, and precision of results). From 3303 total records, 18 trials with 1654 participants were included. ![]() ![]() To assess for relative efficacy, comparator groups were restricted to specific active controls (such as evidenced-based sleep treatments) and nonspecific active controls (such as time/attention-matched interventions to control for placebo effects), which were analyzed separately. ![]() ![]() Our study sought to evaluate the effect of mindfulness meditation interventions on sleep quality. There is a growing interest in the effectiveness of mindfulness meditation for sleep disturbed populations. ![]()
