Brief Summary

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

The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary signal of effect of a combined school- and home-based sleep promotion program for young children prior to the kindergarten transition.

Detailed Description

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

This pilot randomized controlled study will test a combined school- and home-based sleep promotion intervention designed to improve young children's sleep and classroom behavior. Classrooms will be randomized to either the intervention or waitlist control group. Intervention content will be delivered via text message to parents' phones and in the classroom. The primary aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention. The secondary aim is to assess the preliminary signal of effect on children's sleep and classroom behavior. Findings from this study will inform any necessary intervention modifications prior to a fully powered randomized controlled trial.

Study Groups

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

Rested & Ready to Learn

The Rested \& Ready to Learn sleep promotion program includes text messaging to parents, home activities for parents and children to complete together, and brief classroom lessons.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Rested & Ready to Learn

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The intervention targets improving young children's sleep by providing parents with sleep education and activities to do at home with their child. Classroom teachers will also deliver a brief lesson aligned with intervention topics to reinforce key messaging in the classroom. The sleep intervention will focus on the benefits of sleep (physical health, social-emotional health, classroom participation/learning), creating and sticking to a bedtime routine, screen use before bed, and developmentally appropriate sleep behavior.

Control

The control group will not receive any intervention. They will be placed on a waitlist and will receive the Rested \& Ready to Learn intervention once all assessments are complete.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
