About

Adolescent's poor sleep habits have been linked to adverse outcomes. Recent advances in activity tracking have provided researchers with cost-effective and non-invasive measurements of sleep in a free-living environment. The primary objective is to determine the mean differences in Fitbit accelerometer sleep quantity (mins) between High School student-athletes and non-athletes during a competitive academic semester over continuous monitoring for two weeks.

Full description

Secondary objectives are to measure and determine:

If a relationship exist between self-reported Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) sleep scores and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) scores compared to mean Fitbit accelerometer sleep quantity and efficiency (sleep quality) based on heart rate, time awake or restless over two weeks If dietary habits have a significantly correlated relationship to subject group, sleep quantity, sleep efficiency and steps/day If mean differences exist in Fitbit steps counted between student-athletes and non-athletes over two weeks If a relationship exists between mean Fitbit accelerometer steps counted and mean sleep quantity and efficiency over two weeks

All Fitbits are monitored remotely by the Principal investigator. This is a fully remote study (no physical study sites). Participants are recruited from 3 high schools (IRB approved). Consent, study forms and other e-mail communication and texting is directly between the participant and the Principal Investigator.
