Purpose
The primary aim of the study is to test the effect of mindfulness training on sleep parameters among older adults with insomnia symptoms
The secondary aims are to examine if changes in mindfulness meditation practice (daily log) and level of mindfulness (self-report) are associated with changes in sleep parameters, and to determine if mindfulness training is associated with in vitro biological markers of peripheral inflammation

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Sleep [ Time Frame: Within 2 weeks post-intervention ]Primary sleep outcomes to be assessed include Daily sleep diary, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Fatigue Symptom Inventory, Insomnia Severity Index, and Pre-Sleep Arousal Scale
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Mindfulness [ Time Frame: Within 2 weeks post-intervention ]Mindfulness will be assessed by self report with the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire and a daily log of amount of mindfulness practice
- Inflammatory Biology [ Time Frame: Within 2 weeks post-intervention ]Pro-inflammatory cytokines and associated transcription markers will be assessed with in vitro assay of peripheral blood via venipuncture collected between 9am and 1130am

Experimental: Mindfulness Meditation
The MAPs program is based on experiential training in mindfulness meditation offered at the UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center (MARC). A certified UCLA instructor will provide didactic training in mindfulness meditation in a group-based setting. Participants will be guided through in-class meditation practices and will be assigned daily meditation homework. Active program components include sitting and walking somatosensory-focused meditation, audio-guided body scan meditation, and loving kindness meditation. Participants will attend weekly 2-hour classes for a total of 6 weeks and participants will monitor their sleep with a daily sleep diary. In addition to the MAPs training, sleep hygiene material will also be presented to match the sleep hygiene material in the sleep education condition.

Behavioral: Mindfulness Meditation
Participants will attend weekly 2-hour classes for a total of 6 weeks and participants will monitor their sleep with a daily sleep diary.

Active Comparator: Sleep Education
The sleep education condition is founded on knowledge acquisition. In the sleep seminar condition, a trained health educator will provide didactic presentations on sleep, sleep hygiene, sleep problems, and potential solutions to sleep problems in a group-based setting. Active components of sleep education include increasing knowledge of sleep biology, identifying characteristics of healthy and unhealthy sleep, sleep problems, and self-monitoring of sleep behavior. Participants attend weekly 2-hour classes for a total of 6 weeks and participants will monitor their sleep with a daily sleep diary. The health education condition is comparable to MAPs in terms of time, attention, group support, and participant expectancy of a benefit in sleep parameters.

Behavioral: Sleep Education
Participants will attend weekly 2-hour classes for a total of 6 weeks and participants will monitor their sleep with a daily sleep diary.
