What this trial studies

This study aims to design and implement an intervention focused on sleep health and mindfulness for older adults living in residential housing facilities. It will utilize social network techniques to identify opinion leaders who will help disseminate tailored messages based on an existing Sleep Health Program. The intervention will be adapted to meet the specific needs of cognitively unimpaired older adults and will include qualitative interviews to gather feedback on the approach. Additionally, the study will collect data on sleep quality, cognitive function, and quality of life, using both surveys and FitBit devices over a six-month period.
