*McNemar’s test, Brazil, 2018.There was a significant improvement in relation to trouble sleeping for up to 30
minutes, since the number of older adults who reported having such difficulty three
times a week or more fell from 44 in the pre-intervention period to 31 in the
post-intervention period. Moreover, there was an increase in the number of older
adults who reported having no trouble sleeping within 30 minutes, from six older
adults before the intervention to 15 after it. It is important to highlight that the
same occurred with older adults who woke up 3 or more times in the middle of the
night or early in the morning, which reduced from 54 in the pre-intervention period
to 40 in the post-intervention period.As for the presence of concerns as a reason for not being able to sleep, it was
observed that the intervention was effective, since, in pre-test, seven older adults
reported not losing sleep due to worry and, in post-test, there was an increase to
30, as shown in Comparing the groups before and after the experiment, no statistically significant
difference was observed. There is a significant intragroup observance for the
reduction of latency time measured in minutes to sleep, in G1 and 2, when compared
before and after the intervention. In the intergroup comparison, it is observed that
sleep parameters (in minutes) were significant, according to
