<![CDATA[Insomnia is not classified as a disease, but rather a symptom of an underlying condition or a result of problems experienced by a person in daily activities. Insomnia also hinders the body's recovery process, causing rapid fatigue and excessive drowsiness during the day. In addition, sleep disorders can cause decreased thinking and working speed, weakened memory, reduced productivity, and participation in social activities can also decrease. One technique often used is Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) or gradual muscle relaxation. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the application of progressive muscle relaxation techniques in helping to reduce insomnia in Lepasan Village, Bakumpai District. The implementation of the education and training program on progressive muscle relaxation took place on May 18, 2026, involving 35 residents of Lepasan Village, Bakumpai District. The activity began with an observation of the participants' insomnia levels using the Insomnia Rating Scale questionnaire. It was followed by an opening ceremony and an explanation of the purpose and intent of this activity. This program consists of two main parts: 1) a 10-minute presentation on insomnia, and 2) a 15-25-minute progressive muscle relaxation training session. The teaching methods used include lectures and discussions. The media used was a booklet containing information about insomnia and a progressive muscle relaxation movement guide for participants. The results showed a decrease in insomnia levels for 7 days after the progressive muscle relaxation intervention was implemented. The final results showed that 25 respondents did not experience insomnia, 7 respondents experienced mild insomnia, and 3 respondents experienced severe insomnia.]]>
