Background
The study examined sleep quality and perceived stress among women who reported disrupted sleep patterns and high daily stress.
It enrolled 24 women aged 30–40. Participants used Somavedic Luna according to standard home instructions and completed standardized questionnaires before and after the observation period.
Experimental design and data collection
The questionnaires evaluated sleep quality, perceived stress, energy levels, and physical comfort. Participants served as their own baseline to track individual changes in their regular living environment.
The analysis used the D’Agostino–Pearson normality test. Normally distributed results were analyzed using a paired t-test; other results used the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Statistical significance was defined as p < 0.05.
Percentage differences between baseline and follow-up responses were calculated to determine measured changes.
Measures
- Global sleep quality measured with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and structured sleep assessment items.
- Perceived stress evaluated with the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and complementary stress markers.
- Mood, energy levels, physical comfort, bodily ease, and overall daytime vitality.
- Fatigue assessment using the standardized Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS).
Results
- Participants reported statistically significant improvements in mood (+8.5%), energy levels (+10%), and physical comfort (+13.3%), alongside a significant 8.6% reduction in bodily aches and pain.
- Perceived stress scores (PSS) decreased by 7.5%, reaching statistical significance.
- Global sleep index scores demonstrated significant improvement, reflecting calmer sleep and better nighttime rest.
- Complementary items for daytime relaxation (+8.8%), mental acuity (+3.2%), and overall wellbeing (+14%) all showed consistent positive trends.
Conclusion
The study concludes that Somavedic Luna supported meaningful improvements in sleep quality, daytime energy, physical comfort, and perceived stress reduction among participating women.
Discussion
The authors emphasize statistically significant gains in mood, energy, physical ease, pain reduction, PSS scores, and the global sleep index.
The observed consistency across both psychological and physical self-assessments highlights the supportive role of Somavedic in the home sleep environment.
Methodological context
As with real-world pilot evaluations, the authors note that future research will benefit from expanded cohorts and extended longitudinal observation periods.
