Participant Flow

A total of 754 individuals entered prescreening and/or expressed interest ('signed up'). After eligibility screening and completion of baseline, 637 participants were randomized and started: 318 to the app and 319 to waitlist. The difference (754 to 637) reflects screening processes and incomplete baseline assessments prior to randomization.

Allocation to Sleep Improvement App
Participants will be instructed to engage with the Dein Schlaf. Dein Tag. smartphone app, log their behaviors in-app, and track their sleep daily for the duration of the study (12 weeks). Participants will be instructed to start the sleep tracking device via their iOS device before lying down in bed and turning off the lights to go to sleep. In the morning, participants will turn off the sleep tracking device as soon as they wake up and decide to leave the bed. At the three time points (baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks), participants will be instructed to complete online assessments on self-reported sleep quality, health perception, psychosocial factors and sleep-permissive behaviors (i.e., preventative health) Dein Schlaf. Dein Tag. sleep improvement application powered by SleepScore: The Dein Schlaf. Dein Tag. application powered by SleepScore is a validated sleep measurement application using sonar technology that also provides evidenced-based sleep advice and sleep education content based on a user's objectively measured nightly sleep data. As participants engage with the app, the Dein Schlaf. Dein Tag. application provides personalized and dynamic sleep content and sleep and circadian rhythm improvement advice based in the principles of sleep hygiene, sleep-circadian science, and cognitive behavioral psychology.
Allocation to Waitlist Control Group
At the three time points (baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks) participants assigned to the wait-list control group will be instructed to complete online assessments on self-reported sleep quality, health perception, psychosocial factors and sleep-permissive behaviors (i.e., preventative health)
