In a randomized controlled trial (RCT), the investigators will recruit participants to an 8-week "app-based wellness" intervention, followed by a 12-week follow-up period. The investigators will recruit a total of 276 self-declared Chronic Hematological Cancer (CHC) patients who (representative of age, race/ethnicity, and gender) will be on stable CHC pharmacologic therapy (if any), self-identify as sleep disturbed (\>5 on Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), do not have a sleep disorder diagnosis, do not take sleep medication/supplements \>3 times per week, and are not currently practicing regular meditation. Aim 1: Test the efficacy of two app-based wellness programs (10 minutes per day) on the primary outcome of self reported sleep disturbance (Insomnia Severity Index (primary) and PROMIS Sleep Disturbance (secondary)) and secondary sleep outcomes including sleep impairment (PROMIS Sleep Impairment Scale) and sleep efficiency measured via sleep diaries and actigraphy. Aim 2: Test the efficacy of two app-based wellness programs (10 minutes per day) on inflammatory markers (i.e., TNF-a, IL-6, IL-8, CRP), fatigue, and emotional distress (i.e., anxiety, depressive symptoms measured with PROMIS®). Aim 3: Explore the sustained effects (i.e., 20 weeks from baseline) of two app-based wellness programs (10 minutes per day) in CHC patients.

Sleep Disturbance (subjective)
Timeframe: Changes in sleep disturbance will be measured at baseline, week 2, week 4, week 6, week 8, and week 20. Total scores range from 0 to 28 with scores 8 to 14, and ≥15 indicating subclinical and moderate-to-severe insomnia symptom severity, respectively.
Sleep Disturbance (subjective)
Timeframe: Changes in sleep disturbance will be measured at baseline, week 8, and week 20. This form consists of 8 items in a 1-5 Likert scale. The measure generates a total summed score, which is then converted to a standardized t-score.

Sleep disturbance (subjective)
Timeframe: Changes in sleep disturbance will be measured weekly throughout the 8-week intervention period and once again during the week 20 follow-up period.
