Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Child Daily Sleep Diaries

Daily diaries filled out by children with parent assistance that measure sleep efficiency, sleep onset latency, and total sleep time. Diaries also measure child behavior.

Time frame
Each morning for 14-days at 0 weeks, 6 weeks, and 10 weeks
2

Parent Daily Sleep Diaries

Daily diaries filled out by parent that measure sleep efficiency, sleep onset latency, and total sleep time. Diaries also measure child behavior.

Time frame
Each morning for 14-days at 0 weeks, 6 weeks, and 10 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Child Actigraphy

Physiological measure of sleep efficiency, sleep onset latency, and total sleep time

Time frame
24/7 during the 2 week assessment at 0 weeks, 6 weeks, and 10 weeks
2

Parent Actigraphy

Physiological measure of sleep efficiency, sleep onset latency, and total sleep time

Time frame
24/7 during the 2 week assessment at 0 weeks, 6 weeks, and 10 weeks
3

Child Heartrate Variability

Child heartrate variability will be measured during the following: 1) resting state, 2) cold pressor stimulation to hand (place hand to bottom of 4° Celsius ice water) for 30 secs, 3) 3 min recovery, 4) cold pressor stimulation to other hand for 30secs, 5) resting state

Time frame
during a cold-pressor task at 0 weeks, 6 weeks, 10 weeks
4

Parent Heartrate Variability

Parent heartrate variability will be measured during the following: 1) resting state, 2) cold pressor stimulation to hand (place hand to bottom of 4° Celsius ice water) for 30 secs, 3) 3 min recovery, 4) cold pressor stimulation to other hand for 30secs, 5) resting state

Time frame
during a cold-pressor task at 0 weeks, 6 weeks, 10 weeks
