Interventions were delivered in person and via videoconference after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Women aged 45 to 90 years with daily incontinence were included. Data were analyzed from June to September 2024.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Interventions<\/jats:title>\n Random assignment to a 3-month yoga intervention involving twice-weekly instruction and once-weekly self-directed practice of hatha yoga techniques vs a time-equivalent physical conditioning intervention.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>\n Sleep quality and disruption were assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Pittsburgh Sleep Diary. Nocturnal incontinence and voiding frequency were evaluated using voiding diaries.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Among 240 participants (mean [SD] age, 62.0 [8.7] years; 40 Asian [21.1%], 19 Black [7.9%], 160 White [66.7%], and 20 &amp;gt;1 race [8.3%]; 32 Latina [13.3%]), 133 participants (55.4%) reported poor sleep quality (PSQI &amp;gt;5) and 133 of 239 participants with data (55.7%) reported awakening at least once per night to use the bathroom at baseline. The mean change in PSQI score over 3 months was 0.37 points (95% CI, 0.78 to \u22120.04 points) in the yoga group, vs 0.66 points (95% CI, 1.07 to 0.25 points) in the physical conditioning group (between-group difference: 0.29 points [95% CI \u22120.28 to 0.86 points]). The mean change in wakefulness after sleep onset was 3.82 minutes (95% CI, 8.15 to \u22120.52 minutes) in the yoga group, and 6.97 minutes (95% CI, 11.20 to 2.74 minutes) in the physical conditioning group (between-group difference, 3.16 minutes [95% CI, \u22122.84 to 9.16 minutes]). Across all participants regardless of intervention, greater nocturnal voiding frequency was associated with worse sleep quality; for example, the estimated mean PSQI score was 5.83 points (95% CI, 5.35 to 6.32 points) among participants with fewer than 1 nocturnal voiding episode per night but 6.66 points (95% CI, 6.00 to 7.33 points) among those with at least 2 episodes per night (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.02 for linear trend across increasing categories of nocturnal voiding frequency).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>\n In this study, a 3-month yoga intervention did not yield superior outcomes for sleep quality or disruption compared with a general physical conditioning intervention among women with incontinence.<\/jats:p>\n
