About

This pilot study will evaluate the feasibility of a 6-week intervention using Chorus Sleep's ios app to improve sleep quality, reduce stress, and reduce depression and anxiety using a randomized controlled design.

Full description

Chorus Sleep is a successful wellness company with a loyal and growing clientele, and considerable qualitative and anecdotal evidence for its efficacy at reducing stress, and improving sleep quality. It builds upon existing meditation and mindfulness practices with well documented efficacy for reducing pain, improving mental health, and reducing stress. Further its innovative approach - including the use of popular music and breathwork patterns that elicit stimulating and novel sensations and physiological activity - may removes barriers to participation and engagement of many traditional meditation and mindfulness practices. Prior research evaluating the efficacy of audio meditation using the Calm app found use of the app for eight weeks significantly decreased daytime fatigue and sleepiness and pre-sleep arousal compared to a wait-list control group. Further, use of the calm app for 8 weeks was associated with greater improvements in depression and anxiety symptoms, and those effects were mediated by lower pre-sleep arousal. This study will investigate whether Chorus Sleep's innovation in auditory app-based sleep inventions will demonstrate similar efficacy.

This study has the following objectives:

  1. Pilot a randomized controlled trial on Chorus sleep to evaluate feasibility.
  2. Evaluate the effect of Chorus sleep practice at improving sleep quality.
  3. Evaluate the effect of Chorus sleep practice at reducing perceived stress, depression, and anxiety, both directly and indirectly through improved sleep quality.
  4. Characterize habit formation of Chorus sleep practice

Chorus Sleep
Experimental group
Description:
During the 6-week intervention, participants will receive daily reminders to complete their daily sleep log and a link to a chorus sleep class for them to listen to that night. The daily sleep class involve listening to 15 minute audio sessions, which include guided mediation and breathing exercises. Participants will be encouraged to complete classes every day but will be asked to complete classes at least 3 times per week in order to be considered as adhering to the intervention. Participation will be tracked based on participants self-reports in the daily sleep logs. Participants who did not adhere to the intervention will be excluded from per-protocol analyses. Participants will complete surveys online at baseline, after 3 weeks, and after 6 weeks. The baseline questionnaires will include demographic information.
Treatment:
Behavioral: Chorus Sleep

Description:
Participants will be placed on a 6 week waitlist to access the chorus sleep app. There will be no daily activities for them to complete during those 6 weeks. Participants will complete surveys online at baseline, after 3 weeks, and after 6 weeks. The baseline questionnaires will include demographic information.
