Summary

Investigators developed a brief, scalable, behavioral Sleep Promotion Program (SPP) for adolescents with short sleep duration and sleep-wake irregularity, which relies on one individual session and smart phone technology to deliver evidence-based strategies. This open trial portion of the R34 will focus on conducting an open trial (n=8) to iteratively refine provider training, implementation procedures, and SPP program, per participant and staff feedback.

Conditions

• Sleep
• Sleep Disturbance
• Insufficient Sleep

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Sleep Promotion Program	SPP prioritizes increasing sleep duration and regularizing sleep-wake timing. The provider and youth review the youth's sleep pattern, based on sleep diary data collected before and during the program and actigraphy data collected at baseline. They discuss benefits to the current sleep pattern, reasons for changing sleep, and they create an action plan. Psychoeducation about healthy sleep is offered via a handout developed by our group. Youth and provider jointly select SPP strategies relevant to the contributors to poor sleep for each youth (e.g., time management, limiting weekend oversleep). In the second session they review progress and adjust the plan. Parents participate for part of each session to learn about their child's sleep and to discuss ways they can support their child to make the planned changes.
