Summary

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of a multidimensional sleep health promotion intervention on blood pressure, glycemic control indicators, anthropometric markers of adiposity, and lifestyle factors in adults. Participants will be randomized into an intervention or a control group. The control arm will receive standard Life's Essential 8 cardiovascular health educational materials. The intervention arm will additionally receive a multi-component intervention aimed at improving sleep health based on evidence-based sleep hygiene education and established behavior change techniques that include personalized sleep health feedback, goal setting and establishing a sleep health plan, coaching, self-monitoring, and addressing light and noise in the sleep environment. Mixed methods will be used to understand implementation determinants, processes, and outcomes, ensuring the successful completion and future expansion of this intervention.

Detailed description

Improving multiple domains of cardiometabolic health through contextual behavioral interventions can have far-reaching effects for reducing the burden of multiple cardiometabolic morbidities. Despite a strong evidence base supporting the role of sleep as a major contributor to cardiometabolic health preservation, most lifestyle interventions have targeted diet or physical activity and not sleep. Sleep is amenable to intervention and can improve cardiometabolic health through complementary or synergistic biologic pathways with other lifestyle factors. Therefore, pragmatic multidimensional sleep health interventions may elucidate scalable and sustainable contextual behavioral approaches to improve cardiometabolic health and extend healthspan.
