Poor sleep is common among college students and likely contributes to stress. The investigators developed a brief, remotely-delivered intervention and tested whether it improves sleep hygiene and reduced sleep disturbance and stress among undergraduates.
Poor sleep is common among college students and likely contributes to stress. The investigators developed a brief, remotely-delivered sleep hygiene intervention, which is delivered via the internet, and tested in a randomized controlled trial, whether it improves sleep hygiene and reduced sleep disturbance and stress in a sample of undergraduates who report wanting to improve their sleep. This study compares the novel sleep hygiene intervention to an active, matched control condition--sleep education. Baseline and 2-week follow-up questionnaires assess sleep hygiene, sleep disturbance, and stress. ANCOVAs will compare conditions at follow-up, and mediation tests will explore whether the intervention reduced stress through improved sleep.
