Summary

This trial will test a new, non-drug intervention for insomnia that can be used on a mobile device.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for older adults with insomnia, experiencing trouble falling asleep at least three nights a week. Participants must be able to communicate verbally and in written English, have no cognitive impairments or diagnosed non-insomnia sleep disorders like sleep apnea, and must not have upper extremity motor impairments.
What is being tested?
The study tests two types of monitored breathing awareness therapy (MBAT) delivered via mobile devices as a non-drug treatment for insomnia. It aims to see if these therapies can reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and improve overall sleep quality in older adults.
What are the potential side effects?
Since MBAT is a non-drug intervention focusing on education and relaxation techniques, significant side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience varying levels of comfort or effectiveness with the use of mobile devices for therapy.
