Effects of a Programmed Reflexology Therapy on Sleep Quality, Insomnia, Fatigue, and Heart Rate Variability Among Individuals With Poor Sleep Quality
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a structured reflexology therapy can improve sleep, reduce insomnia severity, and alleviate fatigue in adults with poor sleep quality, and to understand how it affects autonomic nervous system function. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can manual reflexology treatment improve sleep quality as measured by standardized sleep assessments? * Can manual reflexology influence physiological measures of autonomic function (such as heart rate and heart rate variability)? Researchers will compare the effects of a manual reflexology intervention to those of a mechanical foot massage to determine which approach is more effective in improving sleep, reducing insomnia severity, and enhancing fatigue and autonomic balance. Participants will be asked to: * Undergo weekly sessions of manual reflexology therapy for six weeks, and * Undergo weekly sessions using mechanical foot massage equipment for six weeks, with heart rate, heart rate variability, and sleep and fatigue questionnaires measured before and after each intervention period.
