About

This study will examine the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of two digital sleep interventions in improving sleep regularity and psychiatric health during a critical period of adolescence.

Full description

This study will be testing two digital sleep health interventions for adolescents. Adolescents in both conditions will receive sleep education-related content. This project also uses an innovative digital platform and wearable sensors to deliver feedback.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate a 6-week digital sleep intervention to promote healthy sleep patterns. The study will be broken up into two phases: Phase 1: Focus group participation. Participants and their guardian will be asked to participate in a focus group to get their thoughts/opinions on the intervention. Phase 2: Participants and their guardian will be asked to come to 4 different study visits: baseline, post-intervention, 3 month and 6 month follow up. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires about demographics, psychiatric health, and sleep patterns. The participants will be asked to wear an ActiGraph watch for 24hrs/day for a week for 4 separate weeks, a Garmin for the duration of the 6-week intervention and keep a sleep diary through an online program.
