Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)	4 weeks	The evaluation criteria for this outcome measure are as follows: 0-5 points indicate very good sleep quality; 6-10 points indicate average sleep quality; 11-15 points indicate poor sleep quality; 16-21 points indicate very poor sleep quality.
Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA)	4 weeks	The evaluation criteria for this outcome measure are as follows: 0-6 points indicate no anxiety symptoms; 7-14 points indicate possible anxiety; 15-21 points indicate definite anxiety; 22-29 points indicate significant anxiety; and scores exceeding 29 points suggest severe anxiety.
Electroencephalogram (EEG)-Slow wave frequency	4 weeks	This outcome measure is designed to measure sleep by primarily analyzing slow waves in the resulting graphs. Slow waves are the quality standard of deep sleep, and patients with sleep disorders often fail to produce slow waves or have a shortened slow wave time. If the intervention is effective, the consumption will result in an increase in the duration of slow wave sleep.The frequency of slow waves per minute is obtained by measuring the number of slow waves in two hours divided by 120 minutes.
Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD)	4 weeks	The evaluation criteria for this outcome measure are as follows:a score of less than 8 is normal, a score of 8-20 may indicate depression, a score of 21-35 may indicate depression, and a score of more than 35 may not indicate severe depression
Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)	4 weeks	This outcome measure assesses cognitive ability and memory, with evaluation based on a scoring system.The total score ranges from 0 to 30 points, with scores lower than 26 indicating the presence of cognitive impairment. The lower the score, the more severe the disease.
Electroencephalogram (EEG)-Slow wave length	4 weeks	This outcome measure is designed to measure sleep by primarily analyzing slow waves in the resulting graphs. Slow waves are the quality standard of deep sleep, and patients with sleep disorders often fail to produce slow waves or have a shortened slow wave time. If the intervention is effective, the consumption will result in an increase in the duration of slow wave sleep.The length of the slow wave per minute is obtained by measuring the length of the slow wave for two consecutive hours and dividing by the total duration of 120 minutes.
