Mindfulness training lowered stress and improved sleep quality among students at a U.S. senior military college. In a 4-week pilot (31 participants) and an 8-week study (66 participants, 18 women), students randomly assigned to mindfulness training showed significant decreases in stress and increases in mindfulness facets (observing, describing, nonreactivity) and sleep quality, while a nutrition training control group showed no significant changes. The findings suggest mindfulness training can benefit well-being in environments combining academic and military demands.
