Small Steps Program
Participants in the intervention group will be given access to the Small Steps website. Small Steps website provides a visual representation of the participant's current use of time and allows for manipulation to demonstrate how small lifestyle changes may improve sleep and physical activity needs. The personal outcome goals selected by the participant will also feature on participant's dashboard within the Small Steps website as a reminder. Participants will be prompted through the first 12 weeks to add a new behaviour change each week and will receive support phone calls weekly. During the 12-week Maintenance Phase participants will be guided to maintain their new behaviour, with supportive phone calls being progressively reduced from fortnightly to monthly. At the completion of the 12 weeks, investigator support will be withdrawn. Maintenance of the new behaviour without support will then be assessed over 12 additional weeks in the Follow-Up phase.
Comparator Program
Participants will receive generic health advice only and it will not be individually tailored, nor will they receive weekly support phone calls during the first 12-weeks. Participants will receive no feedback or support in the Maintenance or Follow-Up phases.
