Summary

This study aims to compare the efficacy of the Mahayana Buddhist Awareness Training Program (ATP) with a Qigong group in treating people with insomnia in Hong Kong. It also aims to investigate the underlying mechanisms, including changes in brain activity and heart rate variability during wakefulness, through which these two Eastern mind body interventions improve sleep quality. It is expected that ATP will be as efficacious as Qigong in enhancing sleep quality. Compared to the Qigong intervention, the more mind-based ATP will lead to more improvement in mental health and greater reductions in hyperarousal brain activity. Compared to ATP, the more body-based Qigong will lead to greater improvement in physical health and heart rate variability.
