Behavioral interventions to extend sleep duration: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: The goal of this study was to examine the effects of behavioral sleep extension interventions on sleep duration outcomes in children and adults ≥ age 12. We conducted a systematic literature review, article extraction and meta-analysis. Our search yielded 42 studies from 14 countries. The majority of studies (n = 19) enrolled adults, 10 studies enrolled college students, 13 enrolled children (high school or middle school aged). Results from the meta-analysis demonstrated behavioral sleep extension resulted in a significantly higher sleep duration as compared to control group or baseline, with pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) that was similar for both two-arm 0.80 (95 % CI 0.28 to 1.31; p < 0.01; I² = 99.2%) and one-arm studies 0.75 (95% CI 0.39 to 1.11; p < 0.01; I
