Effect of a Sleep Hygiene-based Intervention on Sleep Quality and Mental Health in Medical Students

The in-person sleep hygiene-based intervention will be delivered in 8 sessions by an sleep expert using digital resources, previously designed and expert validated. During the intervention, the following topics will be covered: (1) sleep hygiene generalities, (2) sleep and environment, (3) sleep and technology, (4) sleep and diet, (5) sleep and excercise, (6) sleep and stimulus control, (7) breathing techniques, (8) mindfulness. The sessions will be delivered twice a week with an approximated duration of 45 minutes each, until completed.

The online sleep hygiene-based intervention will be delivered in 8 sessions through a self-paced educational platform; the content will be the same as in the in-person intervention, but tailored for use in digital learning platforms. The suggest completion time for each session will be 45 minutes. Although its self-paced nature, participants are required to complete it within one month, following the same timeline as the face-to-face arm.
