Study Summary

This trial will test whether a sleep-health intervention that uses habit-formation science can improve outcomes by adding a text-messaging component. Participants will be 18-30 years old.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young adults aged 18-30 who speak English and are willing to participate. They should have stable sleep medication use if applicable, irregular sleep patterns or late sleep times on weekends, and be 'at risk' in emotional, cognitive, behavioral, physical or social health domains. Excluded are those with substance abuse/dependence, severe mental or physical illness, pregnancy/breastfeeding individuals, certain sleep disorders unless treated.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a habit-based sleep-health intervention aimed at improving participants' quality of rest through the science of habit formation. It also examines whether adding text message reminders enhances this process.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve behavior modification and communication via text messaging rather than medications or invasive procedures, significant side effects are not anticipated.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Habit-based Sleep Health Intervention plus text messages (HABITs+texts)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants in this condition participate in the HABITs intervention which includes 3x50-minute weekly sessions followed by 6x30-minute weekly sessions. Additionally, participants in this group will receive the text messaging intervention.
Group II: Habit-based Sleep Health Intervention (HABITs)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
