The Sleep Tight study is testing a 6-week virtual program designed to help parents improve their young child’s sleep. Researchers hope the program can help families build healthy sleep habits and address common sleep challenges in young children.

Your family may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Parents with a child 2-4 years of age
• Child does not get enough sleep
• Child does not have a diagnosed sleep disorder
• You must live in the Eastern Time Zone

You and your child will complete the study remotely. You must live in the Eastern Time Zone.

• You will be randomly assigned to receive the full Sleep Tight program right away or be placed on a wait-list to receive a shorter version of the program a few months later
• If you receive the full program, you will receive a binder of materials by mail and meet with a trained sleep coach for six weekly 30-minute video calls.
• During these calls, you will discuss your child’s sleep, review goals, learn sleep strategies, and set goals for the following week.
• After the six-week program, you will receive brief phone calls and supportive text messages for 12 weeks.
• At the beginning of the study, after 6 weeks, and after 18 weeks, you will complete a 20-minute online survey.
• At each of these three time points, you and your child will each wear a sleep watch for 7 days, and you will complete a brief daily sleep log.
• Some caregivers may also be invited to complete a 30-minute phone interview about their experience.

Participants can receive up to $350 for completing study activities.

There is no cost for your family to participate in our research study.
