Summary

Chronic sleep deprivation among adolescents is a prevalent health problem across the world and is associated with a series of short and long term consequences. However, effective interventions targeting on this vulnerable adolescent population is very limited. Majority of the previous sleep education programme are conducted in a school context which personal factors and individualized problems were not addressed. In addition, failure to address "knowledge-action gap" may also explain why individual fail to enact health behaviors even holding positive motivation. In regard to this, investigators proposed an active and person-oriented protocol with the aid of advanced technology in order to improve adolescent sleep health.
