BEHAVIORAL

Sleep Diary

All 40 chosen students will be provided a link to complete a daily sleep diary for 10 weeks. Sleep diary will assess activity before bed, bedtime, time to fall asleep, number of awakenings, time awake after sleep onset, time out of bed, time of final awakening, perceived sleep quality. Diary also asks about naps taken during the day, caffeine and tobacco consumption, and an additional space for open-ended comments from the participant.

DEVICE

Fitness tracker

All 40 chosen students will receive a fitness tracker. The fit bit will estimate sleep and physical activity as well as adherence to the program. participants will have access to their own data. Data will also be monitored from the lab using Fitabase which provides access to day, hour, and minute-level resolution of data for steps taken, intensity class, calories burned, and sleep (length, movement, and quality).

DEVICE

Blue-Blocking Glasses

Half of the 40 chosen students (N=20) will be provided with blue blocking glasses. The blue-blocking glasses will ensure that blue light from electronic devices will not interfere with circadian rhythm or sleep onset, and allow students to fall asleep earlier.

DEVICE

LED light

Half of the 40 chosen students (N=20) will be provided with a bright LED light. The bright LED light will provide bright blue light in the morning to help students wake and an amber light to promote earlier bedtimes.

OTHER

Information Session

"all 40 participants will attend a 1-hour information session about sleep delivered by the PIs, to be followed by a 1-hour Q\&A period.~Peer educators will receive and extra 1-hour training session on how to handle questions and when to refer back to the PIs."

BEHAVIORAL

Text messages

All participants will receive text messages in the evening that will include adherence reminders, encouraging statements, and tips for improving sleep. Messages will be randomized, with no more than 3 messages of any type per week. Messages will serve as a cue to action without being overly repetitive or predictable.
