A randomized-controlled trial of a digital, small incentive-based intervention for working adults with short sleep.

ABSTRACT:

Study objectives

We evaluated the efficacy of a digitally delivered, small and scalable incentive-based intervention program on sleep and wellbeing in short-sleeping, working adults.

Methods

A 22-week, parallel-group, randomized-controlled trial was conducted on 21-40 y participants gifted with FitbitTM devices to measure sleep for ≥2 years, as part of a broader healthy lifestyle study. About 225 short sleepers (141 males; average time-in-bed, TIB < 7h) were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to Goal-Setting or Control groups. The Goal-Setting group received health vouchers (~USD 0.24) for meeting each sleep goal (i.e. increasing weeknight TIB by 30 min/sleeping before midnight).The study spanned three phases: (1) 2-week Baseline, (2) 10-week Intervention, and (3) 10-week Foll
