Trial Outcomes & Findings for Sleep to Activate Mood Promotion (NCT NCT02413294)

NCT ID: NCT02413294

Last Updated: 2017-04-07

Results Overview

The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index is a validated scale which measures self-reported sleep quality based on a wide variety of questions (duration, quality, disturbances, medication, etc.) and converts them to a scale which ranges from 0 to 21 where 6 or higher denotes poor sleep quality.

Measure
Bright Light Intervention
Before the bright light intervention is initiated (and during the intervention), participants will wear two wrist bands which measure sleep quality and activity levels- the Fitbit and actigraphy watches. These will be worn for two weeks to assess individuals' baseline levels of sleep quality and will continue to be worn during the intervention. Following the baseline period, the re-timer glasses will be introduced and worn for a period of 30 to 50 minutes a day for two weeks. Re-Timer glasses: Participants will wear the Re-timer glasses for 30 minutes a day according to their sleep chronotype in weeks 3 and 4 of the study.

Bed time represents the moment in time at which participants went to bed, measured on a revised clock where 6pm = 18, Midnight = 24 and 6am =30. Time between actual hours is calculated on a decimal basis, so an additional 6 minutes = .1. This revised clock is necessary in order to make means work properly in the nighttime hours. Otherwise, averaging between a 10pm bedtime and a 2am bedtime would give the impossible, inaccurate mean of being in the daytime between those two numbers.

Wake time represents the moment in time at which participants awaken. Time between actual hours is calculated on a decimal basis so an additional 6 minutes = .1. so that 7.5 represents 7:30 a.m. and 7.8 represents 7:48 a.m.

sleep quality is a participants' mean self-report for each of the two week periods: baseline and intervention. Sleep quality is reported for each night on a scale of 0 (very poor) to 4 (very good).
