Background and Objective: The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness therapy on sleep quality and quality of life in adolescents with internet addiction. Method: The research method was a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test, post-test, and control group. The statistical population included male adolescents in Saqqez city in 2024. Using convenience sampling and based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 30 participants were selected and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (15 each). Research instruments included the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (1989) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (1996). The experimental group received Williams and Segal’s (2003) mindfulness therapy in eight 2-hour sessions, while the control group received no intervention. Data analysis was conducted using one-way ANCOVA in SPSS version 23, with a significance level of 0.05. Findings: The results showed that mindfulness therapy led to an increase in sleep quality and quality of life scores in the experimental group compared to the control group of adolescents with internet addiction. Conclusion: Based on the findings, mindfulness therapy can be considered an effective intervention method for improving sleep quality and quality of life in adolescents with internet addiction.
