Summary
This study tested whether a 10-day smartphone app-based mindfulness program can improve sleep and reduce physiological stress in healthy adults. Eighty-one healthy adults were randomly assigned to either a mindfulness group (completing a daily 10-minute guided session via the Ōura app for 10 days) or a waitlist control group. All participants wore an Ōura Ring throughout the study to objectively measure sleep and heart rate variability (HRV). Questionnaires on perceived stress, sleep quality, burnout, and mindfulness were completed before, immediately after, and four weeks after the intervention. The study was conducted at the University of Southern Denmark.
