This 2019 meta analysis reviewed randomized controlled trials, finding moderate strength of evidence that mindfulness meditation interventions significantly improved sleep quality compared with active controls at post intervention and at follow-up. The authors note that mindfulness meditation is hypothesized to target multiple cognitive and emotional processes that contribute to poor sleep quality; it has been shown to reduce stress, decrease ruminative thoughts, reduce pain sensitivity, and diminish emotional reactivity, which together may facilitate sleep. (Rusch, 2019)

These practices have also been shown to support strengths of mindfulness, self-compassion, personal mental health, positive job attitudes, stronger interpersonal relationships, and increased psychological resources.

In this randomized controlled trial, participants who meditated for 13 minutes daily over eight weeks showed significant improvements in attention, working memory, recognition memory, and mood, as well as reduced state anxiety compared to a control group. (Basso, 2019)

In this randomized controlled trial, researchers found that a 2-week mindfulness-training course improved GRE reading-comprehension scores and working memory capacity while simultaneously reducing the occurrence of distracting thoughts. These findings suggest that mindfulness practices can enhance academic performance and cognitive abilities by improving focus and reducing distractions. (Mrazek, 2013)

This review explored 21 studies with a variety of approaches to implement mindfulness training, including combined mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapies, mindfulness-based stress reduction, acceptance-based therapies, and mindful eating programs. Despite the diversity in methodologies, the common thread of benefits from mindful awareness training highlights the potential of mindfulness practices to be complementary treatments for obesity by addressing the psychological aspects of eating behaviors and fostering a healthier relationship with food.
