The research topic is to explore the effectiveness of abdominal breathing on improving of sleep quality and physiological index (heart rate, respiration rate and blood pressure) among patients with insomnia. This study method adopts the research design of experimental randomized controlled trials. The persons receiving the intervention of abdominal breathing training are in the experimental group, while those who do not receive it are in the control group.
Sleep problem is very common symptom problems, so often rely on sedative-hypnotics drugs. However, long-term dependence on drugs may bring serious side effects. Therefore, the research topic is to explore the effectiveness of abdominal breathing on improving of sleep quality and physiological index (heart rate, respiration rate and blood pressure) among patients with insomnia. This study method adopts the research design of experimental randomized controlled trials. The persons receiving the intervention of abdominal breathing training are in the experimental group, while those who do not receive it are in the control group. The research is conducted with A and B groups. Group A is for those who take sedative and sleeping medicine, and Group B is for those who do not take sedative and sleeping medicine. Both groups A and B have experimental group and control group. The effectiveness assessment will use the Pittsburgh Quality Sleep Index (PSQI) and vital signs (heart rate, breathing and blood pressure). These assessments need to complete by both the experimental group and control group. This study uses the pre-test before the implementation of abdominal breathing training, and uses the post-test at week 4 and week 8 the end of abdominal breathing training. The experimental group will receive the abdominal breathing training for a total of 8 weeks. Abdominal breathing training is carry out in the sleep center of hospital (once every 1 week, and 15 minutes every time). When the persons are at home, they will receive self-training using the abdominal breathing training video (every day 10 minutes, can include every time during the day). Moreover, the persons need to complete the "abdominal breathing training log". Hopefully, this study may develop that does not use drugs, but improves sleep quality and physiological index through abdominal breathing.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| The effectiveness of receiving abdominal breathing training | Experimental | Training for 8 weeks (1 time a week, 15 minutes each time). Performed one-on-one by a trainer in a sleep center. At home, you can use the abdominal breathing training video to train yourself (10 minutes a day, can be divided into 10 minutes), and you need to fill in the abdominal breathing training log. |
|
| The effectiveness of not receiving abdominal breathing training | No Intervention | The trainer does not provide abdominal breathing training, does not perform abdominal breathing exercises at home, and does not need to fill in abdominal breathing training logs. |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
