About this trial

Sleep is a major public health concern in the United States. Major guidelines recommend that adults obtain at least 7 hours of sleep per night. More than 25% of U.S. adults do not meet this recommendation, and 14.5% report difficulty falling asleep on most days or every day during the past month. The investigators developed a low-cost, easily accessible sleep intervention using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of this intervention on sleep outcomes among U.S. adults.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Fitbit-measured sleep duration

Sleep duration will be measured objectively using Fitbit and defined as the total amount of time spent asleep during the primary sleep period, expressed in minutes.

Time frame
Baseline, 2-week post-intervention, and 3- and 6-month follow-ups

Secondary outcomes

1

Fitbit-measured sleep onset

Sleep onset will be measured objectively using Fitbit and defined as the time from attempting to fall asleep to sleep onset, expressed in minutes.

Time frame
Baseline, 2-week post-intervention, and 3- and 6-month follow-ups
2

Fitbit-measured sleep efficiency

Sleep efficiency will be measured objectively using Fitbit and defined as the percentage of time spent asleep while in bed, expressed as a percentage (%).

Time frame
Baseline, 2-week post-intervention, and 3- and 6-month follow-ups
3

Fitbit-measured wake after sleep onset

Wake after sleep onset will be measured objectively using Fitbit and defined as the total amount of time participants are awake after initially falling asleep until the final awakening, expressed in minutes.

Time frame
Baseline, 2-week post-intervention, and 3- and 6-month follow-ups
4

Perceived sleep quality

Perceived sleep quality measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The total score ranges from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating worse sleep quality.

Time frame
Baseline, 2-week post-intervention, and 3- and 6-month follow-ups
