Official title
Randomized Experiment of Sleep Technology Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Short sleep duration is highly prevalent and linked to negative mental and physical health consequences, including increased cardiovascular disease risk \[1\]. According to data from the National Health Interview Survey, 70.1 million U.S. adults (29.2%) sleep \<6 hours per 24 hour period \[2\]. These statistics are a stark contrast to recommendations made by a recent consensus panel of sleep experts that concluded "at least 7 hours" is the amount of sleep needed for health and performance among adults \[3\]. Therefore, a high number of U.S. adults could benefit from extending sleep duration. Several small experiments have demonstrated the benefits of short-term sleep extension \[4-8\]. However, these studies are limited by extending sleep as a temporary experimental manipulation rather than a longer-term behavioral intervention. To deliver sleep extension interventions, wearable sleep trackers may be useful, particularly given the rapid uptake among consumers (+500% in 3 years) \[9\]. We have developed a novel technology-assisted behavioral sleep extension intervention that employs four elements -- a wearable sleep tracker, didactic content, an interactive smartphone feature and brief telephone counseling. User testing supports feasibility of extending sleep, but little is known about the effects of differing types of technology interventions on sleep. Therefore, the goal of this study is to examine the differences between technology sleep extension interventions and sleep duration.
