Systematic review and meta-analysis of effects of standalone digital mindfulness-based interventions on sleep in adults.

ABSTRACT: Sleep disturbances and mental health issues represent escalating global health challenges, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and increased digital media consumption.
