Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this clinical trial is to explore how the presentation of sleep data impacts sleep quality, sleep-related behaviors (such as sleepiness), and sleep-related anxiety and stress. The study aims to answer the following key questions:

1. Does receiving sleep-related feedback from a wearable sleep tracker affect an individual\'s mindset about sleep?
2. How does the mindset about sleep influence sleep quality, sleepiness, and stress/anxiety levels related to sleep?
3. Does the feedback on sleep data moderate the relationship between one\'s mindset about sleep and their sleep quality?

Participants will:

1. Be randomly assigned to receive different types of feedback about their sleep data to determine if the way sleep data is presented influences self-reported sleep quality, sleepiness, and sleep-related stress.
2. During the baseline period (Weeks 1-2), complete daily and weekly surveys assessing their sleep habits, beliefs about sleep, anxiety, stress, and mindset regarding sleep.
3. For Weeks 3-4, wear a Fitbit and Brain-Sensing earbuds, receiving daily feedback on their sleep.
4. At the end of the study, provide feedback on their experience using the devices. Participants may choose to return the devices or keep them after the study concludes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

With the growing prevalence of sleep-tracking wearables available to consumers, understanding the psychological and behavioral impacts they have on users is important. Recent advancements in wearable technology allow for monitoring various sleep parameters, providing users with extensive data on their sleep patterns. The study aims to examine how the presentation of sleep data influences user sleep quality, sleep-related behaviors, including sleepiness, and sleep-related anxiety and stress. It will evaluate how the presentation of sleep data affects individuals\' perceptions of sleep and related health issues, including daytime sleepiness and perceived sleep quality. Participants will receive sleep data feedback based on new methods assessed using Fitbit, brain-sensing earbuds, and other factors that might impact sleep. Additionally, the study seeks to offer valuable insights into sleep research, behavioral psychology, and wearable technology.

Study Groups

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

Control Group

All arms receive identical instructions during the onboarding session, which includes information about the study's purpose and the use of Fitbit and NextSense brain-sensing earbuds. Participants are provided with a Fitbit and NextSense brain-sensing earbuds upon enrollment in the study and are instructed to wear them during weeks 3-4. Throughout the 4 weeks, participants complete short daily surveys and longer weekly surveys. At the end of the study, participants complete an "offboarding" survey.

In this arm, participants will receive accurate feedback about their sleep data.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Accurate Sleep Data Feedback

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will receive accurate feedback about their sleep data.

Intervention Group 1

All arms receive identical instructions during the onboarding session, which includes information about the study's purpose and the use of Fitbit and NextSense brain-sensing earbuds. Participants are provided with a Fitbit and NextSense brain-sensing earbuds upon enrollment in the study and are instructed to wear them during weeks 3-4. Throughout the 4 weeks, participants complete short daily surveys and longer weekly surveys. At the end of the study, participants complete an "offboarding" survey.

In this arm, participants will receive inflated feedback about their sleep data, suggesting better sleep quality than detected by Fitbit (actual sleep hours +10%).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Inflated Sleep Data Feedback

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will receive inflated feedback about their sleep data, suggesting better sleep quality than detected by Fitbit (actual sleep hours +10%).

Intervention Group 2

All arms receive identical instructions during the onboarding session, which includes information about the study's purpose and the use of Fitbit and NextSense brain-sensing earbuds. Participants are provided with a Fitbit and NextSense brain-sensing earbuds upon enrollment in the study and are instructed to wear them during weeks 3-4. Throughout the 4 weeks, participants complete short daily surveys and longer weekly surveys. At the end of the study, participants complete an "offboarding" survey.

In this arm, participants will receive deflated feedback about their sleep data, suggesting poorer sleep quality than detected by Fitbit (actual sleep hours -10%).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Deflated Sleep Data Feedback

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will receive deflated feedback about their sleep data, suggesting poorer sleep quality than detected by Fitbit (actual sleep hours -10%).

Intervention Group 3

All arms receive identical instructions during the onboarding session, which includes information about the study's purpose and the use of Fitbit and NextSense brain-sensing earbuds. Participants are provided with a Fitbit and NextSense brain-sensing earbuds upon enrollment in the study and are instructed to wear them during weeks 3-4. Throughout the 4 weeks, participants complete short daily surveys and longer weekly surveys. At the end of the study, participants complete an "offboarding" survey.

In this arm, participants will receive accurate feedback about their sleep data along with sleep-related educational information.
