“…There is rising interest in mindfulness in the health literature because an increasing number of studies indicate that being mindful has salutary effects on psychological (e.g., Chiesa and Serretti 2009;Vollestad et al 2012) and physical health (e.g., Davidson et al 2003;Reibel et al 2001). More relevant to the present research, a number of correlational (e.g., Howell et al 2010Howell et al , 2008 and mindfulness-based intervention studies (e.g., Kanen et al 2015) indicate that being mindful leads to better sleep quality and longer sleep duration. This is presumably because mindfulness allows for a more observant and accepting approach to sleep-interfering arousal processes which promotes better sleep at night (Lundh 2005).…”

Impact of Partial Sleep Deprivation on Psychological Functioning: Effects on Mindfulness and Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction

Extending previous research on the psychological costs of sleep deprivation, the present study examined the impact of insufficient sleep on the capacity to be mindful as well as on the satisfaction of individuals' basic psychological needs, two psychological sources of mental health. The interrelationship between these two psychological resources and fatigue following sleep deprivation was also examined. Participants were 49 adults (77% female; Mage = 32.81 years, SD = 13.09 years) who were randomly assigned to either an experimental (N = 23) or a control (N = 26) group. The study had a 4-day within-person design. In the experimental group, a baseline assessment day was followed by 3 days of partial sleep deprivation (i.e., 5-h sleep per night), whereas participants in the control group slept as usual across the 4-day period. Participants rated their fatigue and psychological functioning each evening and wore an actigraph watch which monitored their sleep. Participants reported increased fatigue after 1 day of sleep deprivation, whereas it took 3 days of sleep deprivation before their mindfulness and need satisfaction deteriorated. Mediational analyses indicated that decreased need satisfaction after 3 days of sleep deprivation was completely accounted for (i.e., explained) by increased fatigue and subsequent decreases in mindfulness. These findings build on previous research by showing that mindfulness and need-based experiences not only precede but also follow from sleep at night.

“…This suggests that the term CBT‐I is used as a convenient label but that treatment could include different evidence‐based psychological interventions, such as motivational and emotional strategies, which are currently less well defined or standardized. Recently, other psychotherapeutic approaches, such as mindfulness and hypnotherapy, centring on powering emotion‐regulation skills, have been empirically investigated (Gong et al, ; Kanen, Nazir, Sedky, & Pradhan, ; Lam et al, ) and acceptance and commitment therapy has been proposed as a possible intervention for non‐responders to CBT‐I (Hertenstein et al, ). Together with the main strategies listed in Table , knowledge on sleeping medication tapering or withdrawal should be considered a component of CBT‐I.…”

Insomnia, the most prevalent sleep disorder worldwide, confers marked risks for both physical and mental health. Furthermore, insomnia is associated with considerable direct and indirect healthcare costs. Recent guidelines in the US and Europe unequivocally conclude that cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT‐I) should be the first‐line treatment for the disorder. Current treatment approaches are in stark contrast to these clear recommendations, not least across Europe, where, if any treatment at all is delivered, hypnotic medication still is the dominant therapeutic modality. To address this situation, a Task Force of the European Sleep Research Society and the European Insomnia Network met in May 2018. The Task Force proposed establishing a European CBT‐I Academy that would enable a Europe‐wide system of standardized CBT‐I training and training centre accreditation. This article summarizes the deliberations of the Task Force concerning definition and ingredients of CBT‐I, preconditions for health professionals to teach CBT‐I, the way in which CBT‐I should be taught, who should be taught CBT‐I and to whom CBT‐I should be administered. Furthermore, diverse aspects of CBT‐I care and delivery were discussed and incorporated into a stepped‐care model for insomnia.

“…However, findings were inconsistent and ranged from no effect to a moderate positive effect in favor of mindfulness meditation. Two of the four meta‐analyses were not restricted to randomized control trials (RCTs) . A third meta‐analysis restricted its investigation to RCTs; however, owing to the small number of included trials, investigators were unable to analyze the active control and waitlist control trials separately.…”

There is a growing interest in the effectiveness of mindfulness meditation for sleep disturbed populations. Our study sought to evaluate the effect of mindfulness meditation interventions on sleep quality. 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. From 3303 total records, 18 trials with 1654 participants were included. We determined the strength of evidence using four domains (risk of bias, directness of outcome measures, consistency of results, and precision of results). 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. 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)). These preliminary findings suggest that mindfulness meditation may be effective in treating some aspects of sleep disturbance. Further research is warranted.
