storytelling
Storytelling android program: Subjects in group A or the storytelling group will be given headphones to listen to stories for 30 min (i.e., between 9 and 10 pm). While the subject listens to the story, a relative will present in a corner of the room to record when they fell asleep, the relative will present again in the room to record the time of falling asleep. The intervention will be done 7 nights a week for a period of 6 weeks.
Mindfulness breathing
"android program: Individuals in group B are instructed to sit upright in a comfortable position with eyes closed, focus on diaphragm movements while breathing in a slow, deep, relaxed manner, and to nonjudgmentally acknowledge and accept unwanted thoughts, ideas or images and return attention to the diaphragmatic breathing. In this exercise, individuals are instructed to notice the physical sensations of breathing, both inhalations and exhalations, with a focus on the natural rate of respiration as opposed to forcibly controlling the breath. Duration: 5 minutes in duration per session, before sleep for 7 days a week for a total duration of 6 weeks"
