Mindfulness-based therapy could be a viable treatment for insomnia Sleep problems are common in the general population with up to half of Singaporean adults reporting insufficient or unsatisfying sleep. Sleep quality tends to worsen with age and poor sleep is a modifiable risk factor for multiple disorders, including cardiovascular disease and cognitive impairment. Currently, insomnia is treated with either medication or psychological interventions. However, even frontline treatments such as cognitive-behavioral therapy have limitations - up to 40% of patients do not get relief from their insomnia symptoms after undergoing this treatment. Furthermore, in Singapore, the waiting time to receive such treatment is long, as it is typically delivered as individual therapy and there are limited available local providers.
