Summary

This will be a study looking at trying to change older adults' behavior in regard to good sleep hygiene practices. Investigators will assess the efficacy through subjective outcome measures and objective physiological markers of good sleep through data collected with wearable technology devices.

Detailed description

Older adults ages 50-80 will be recruited and placed into one of three groups. Group One will watch a one-time educational video on sleep hygiene, Group Two will watch the video plus be sent daily automated text messages to reinforce the education learned in the video, and Group Three will be a control group with no intervention. The participants in Groups One and Two will receive the education after two weeks of data tracking on a Fitbit device. They then will have four additional weeks of tracking. At the end of the study time of six weeks, all participants will return for follow-up testing. The sleep tracker will monitor the physiological markers of sleep provided by wearable technology on sleep efficiency, time in bed, time actually sleeping, and time spent at each stage of sleep.
