Sleep and Health Research Program
Study Overview
This
study is being conducted to test the feasibility of a 16-week behavioral sleep
extension intervention in adults with obesity. It will also test the effects of
this sleep program on the amount of time you sleep at night (sleep duration),
daytime sleepiness, sleep disturbance, and health-related factors, such as
weight, eating behaviors, overall wellbeing, and blood pressure.
Study Description
All
participants will receive a 16-week behavioral sleep extension treatment
program. As part of the program, you will attend weekly individual sleep
treatment visits for 6 weeks, followed by visits every 2 weeks for the
remaining 10 weeks of the program. Therefore, there will be a total of 11
visits over the 16-weeks, most of which will be video telehealth visits.
Participants will be asked to complete a daily sleep diary during the
treatment program and measurements of sleepiness at each treatment visit.
Participants
will complete an in-person screening visit, and if eligible, they will
complete 3 in-person assessment visits during the study: at the start of
the program (baseline), in the middle of the program (Week 8), and at the end
of the program (Week 16). These in-person assessment visits will also include
an individual sleep treatment visit.
Assessments
include:
• Measurement
of your normal, daily activities (including sleep) via a wrist device for
1-week assessment periods at baseline, mid-treatment, and end of treatment
• Questionnaires
that ask about your sleep, health, eating behaviors, weight, wellbeing, and
mental health
• Measurements
of your height, weight, waist circumference, neck circumference, and vital
signs, including blood pressure, at in-person assessment visits
• 24-hour
food recalls completed online during the assessment periods
Participation
in this study is approximately 19 weeks, which includes screening procedures
and (if eligible) the 16-week sleep treatment program with assessment visits.
Participants are eligible to receive up to $100 for study participation. The
sleep health treatment program is provided at no cost as part of the study.
Eligibility:
• Experience
chronic short sleep at night (<6.5 hours/night)
• Age
18-50 years old
• Have
high weight (BMI > 30 kg/m2)
• Desire
to increase the number of hours you sleep per night
• Are
available for study visits and assessments for 5 months
• Are
free of type 1 and type 2 diabetes
Additional Information:
As
a form of medical clearance, participants will be required to provide a
completed form for study participation from their primary care provider to
indicate that it is medically safe for them to participate in this study.
