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
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.
Secondary outcomes
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.
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 (%).
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.
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.
