About this study
Official title: A Comparison Trial of Two Behavioral Sleep Interventions to Improve Sleep-related Outcomes and Reduce Technology Usage Among College Students
The study was a randomized controlled trial designed to examine whether augmenting traditional sleep hygiene and stimulus control procedures with technology use reduction stimulus control procedures would produce better sleep and technology usage outcomes.
Read the detailed description
Sixty college students were randomized to a 4-week sleep hygiene and stimulus control intervention (ACI) or an enhanced intervention including technology stimulus control instructions (TI).
- Conditions
- Sleep Disturbance, Sleep Hygiene
- Being tested
- Technology Intervention, Active Control
- Medical subject headings
- Parasomnias, Sleep Hygiene
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Technology InterventionBehavioural
Participants were provided with sleep hygiene and stimulus control procedure plus procedures to reduce technology usage in bed (i.e., technology usage stimulus control).
In addition to the sleep hygiene and stimulus control procedures, participants were also given a set of procedures aimed at changing technology usage behavior at bedtime and throughout the day.
Active ControlOther
Participants were provided with sleep hygiene and stimulus control procedures.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Active Control | Active comparator | Participants were provided with sleep hygiene and stimulus control procedures. Receives: Other: Active Control |
| Technology Intervention | Experimental | Participants were given the same intervention materials as the active control condition plus procedures to change technology use. Receives: Behavioral: Technology Intervention |

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Sleep Quality (time frame: From baseline to posttest, approximately 5 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Oct 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
