Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Pilot data suggests that working professionals and college students routinely use alarms and snooze. Alarm usage and snoozing is associated with several negative health biomarkers including lighter sleep, higher resting heart rate, and reduced sleep duration. It is unclear when this behavior is established, but it is likely in the teenage years when chronic sleep restriction begins to effect a large percentage of Americans. We will ask teens about psychological traits (e.g. personality) and snoozing behavior in a repeated measures design. In addition, we will implement a smartphone based intervention which notifies teens when they are awake past their minimum bedtime for adequate sleep. throughout the study, we will monitor sleep and heart-rate via wearable. From this data, we will establish the prevalence of alarm and snoozing behaviors in teens. We will determine what demographic, psychological, and behavioral traits predict snoozing, and if there are any differences in health biomarkers (e.g. sleep duration, resting heart rate)between snooze and/or alarm users. We will use data from the wearables and smartphones to generate features that can detect snoozing, and will validate them against self-report. Finally, we seek to determine if alarm and snoozing behavior can be reduced via a smartphone intervention aimed at increasing sleep duration.

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

All participants will be passively monitored for 4 weeks, and all will undergo cell phone based intervention which will notify participants if they are using the cell phone past their latest bedtime for adequate sleep (e.g. if a participant habitually wakes at 8am, and are using their phone past midnight, they will receive a notification).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

All participants

All participants will have a baseline before all participants undergo intervention. The purpose is to pilot the intervention to establish possible effects, as well as to determine if there are any usability or other issues.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cell phone notification

Intervention Type DEVICE

Habitual bed and wake times will be detected using a wearable for 4 weeks. Using habitual wake time, a minimum bedtime to achieve adequate sleep will be calculated (8 hours). If phone usage is detected after this minimum bedtime, participants will receive a notification informing them they are awake past their minimum bedtime and recommend they go to bed to obtain adequate sleep.
