Systematic review and meta-analysis of effects of standalone digital mindfulness-based interventions on sleep in adults

1

Digital mindfulness-based interventions (DMBIs) significantly improve sleep quality and mental health in adults, with moderate effect sizes.
2

The meta-analysis included 18 randomized controlled trials, involving 4870 participants for sleep outcomes and 4489 for mental health outcomes.
3

High heterogeneity and publication bias reduced the certainty of evidence to very low levels, indicating the need for further research.
4

DMBIs offer a scalable and cost-effective alternative to traditional therapies, addressing sleep disturbances exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
5

The study highlights the importance of optimizing DMBI strategies based on delivery format and population characteristics for better outcomes.
