TL;DR: The lack of standardized operational research diagnostic criteria (RDC) for their definition has, in turn, led to inconsistent research findings for most phenotypes largely due to the variable definitions used for their ascertainment as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that nonpharmacological therapies produce reliable and durable changes in several sleep parameters of chronic insomnia sufferers and there is no clear evidence that improved sleep leads to meaningful changes in daytime well-being or performance.

TL;DR: MBSR appears to be a promising intervention to improve the quality of sleep in woman with breast cancer whose sleep complaints are due to stress.
