Sleep Well Live Well (SWELL) Pilot Project
Sleep Well Live Well (SWELL) Pilot Project
This will be a 12 week randomized control trial of sleep hygiene education vs. no education
 with a cross-over to the active intervention after 6 weeks. Primary and secondary outcomes
 will be assessed before and after a 10-20 minute sleep hygiene video (intervention).
The primary aim of this study is to assess if sleep hygiene education increases sleep
 duration and sleep quality in an Appalachian community. To accomplish these aims, the
 investigators will assess changes in sleep duration by the Oura ring and the PSQI and Epworth
 Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Secondary aims are to determine whether sleep hygiene education
 decreases heart rate variability measured by the Oura ring and improves alertness as assessed
 by psychomotor vigilance testing (PVT). Potential participants will be recruited via
 brochures, poster displays and on-line media to participate in the study. Those eligible will
 be asked to complete a questionnaire to record baseline demographics. The data collected will
 be demographic information, presence of chronic medical conditions, validated sleep
 questionnaires, PVT results and Oura ring (https://ouraring.com/) output. A total of 100
 subjects (50 per group) will be randomized to each treatment group, stratified by gender. The
 first group will receive the intervention and be enrolled into the trial after the run-in
 period and the baseline data collection, and the second group will receive the intervention
 at 6 weeks after trial start. Each subject (in both groups) will have pre- and
 post-intervention data in this study. Therefore, the "real" control in this study is the
 subject himself/herself (after taking the difference), which will minimize any confounding
 factors/effect; If the investigators assume that more education duration will result in more
 benefit, the investigators have a chance to assess a dose-response curve ("dosage" =
 education duration). The investigators will fit a mixed-effects model with duration as a
 fixed effect, adjusting for potential confounding variables if any.
