Abstract
Objectve: To investigate the effects of Mindfulness practices on personality traits in adults with insomnia, as well as on symptoms of insomnia, depression, anxiety, stress, and emotional regulation. Methods: A pre-and-post experimental study with 12 participants (66.7% women) aged 18 to 60 years (mean age 44), residing in Brazil. Participants completed the Eight-Week Mindfulness Training (T8SM) remotely. Data were collected before and after the intervention using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21), Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R), and the Online Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (QoRE – Bolie). Results: There was a significant decrease in insomnia, depression, anxiety, and stress, an increase in emotional regulation and mindfulness capacity, and a significant reduction in the neuroticism personality trait. Conclusion: Mindfulness practices proved effective in improving insomnia symptoms and mental health, promoting positive changes in personality traits and emotional regulation skills
