How mindfulness is related to sound sleep

(1/1)

Shabrina Akter:
The researchers pointed out that meditation’s impact on sleep most likely has to do with the following:

improves relaxation
affects the autonomic nervous system, which impacts awakening
increases production of the sleep hormone melatonin
increases serotonin, which is released in the body before melatonin and helps regulate sleep-wake cycling
reduces heart rate
decreases blood pressure
affects areas of the brain that control sleep
