Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Achieving recommended sleep levels1 month

The main outcome measure was adapted from the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (Buysse, Reynolds, Monk, Berman, \& Kupfer, 1989), and was designed to tap both quantity and quality of sleep. Sleep quantity was assessed by asking: "How many hours of actual sleep do you normally get on a night before school? _________ hours," "What time do you normally go to bed on a night before school? __________ pm," and "What time do you normally get up on a school day? __________ am."

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Habit1 month

Gardner et al.'s (2012) self-report behavioral automaticity index, which consists of four items measured on 7-point strongly disagree-strongly agree scales. The items are: "Getting 9 hours' sleep on the nights before school is something I do automatically," "Getting 9 hours' sleep on the nights before school is something I do without thinking," "Getting 9 hours' sleep on the nights before school is something I do without having to consciously remember," and "Getting 9 hours' sleep on the nights before school is something I start doing before I realize I'm doing it."

Self-regulation1 month

Sniehotta, Nagy, and Scholz's (2006) six items were used to capture three facets of action control (Karoly, 1993) on 7-point (+1 to +7) strongly disagree-strongly agree scales. (e.g., "During the last month I constantly monitored my sleep on the nights before school")
