Overview
Brief Summary
Adolescent's poor sleep habits have been linked to adverse outcomes. Recent advances in activity tracking have provided researchers with cost-effective and non-invasive measurements of sleep in a free-living environment. The primary objective is to determine the mean differences in Fitbit accelerometer sleep quantity (mins) between High School student-athletes and non-athletes during a competitive academic semester over continuous monitoring for two weeks.
Detailed Description
Secondary objectives are to measure and determine: * If a relationship exist between self-reported Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) sleep scores and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) scores compared to mean Fitbit accelerometer sleep quantity and efficiency (sleep quality) based on heart rate, time awake or restless over two weeks * If dietary habits have a significantly correlated relationship to subject group, sleep quantity, sleep efficiency and steps/day * If mean differences exist in Fitbit steps counted between student-athletes and non-athletes over two weeks * If a relationship exists between mean Fitbit accelerometer steps counted and mean sleep quantity and efficiency over two weeks All Fitbits are monitored remotely by the Principal investigator. This is a fully remote study (no physical study sites). Participants are recruited from 3 high schools (IRB approved). Consent, study forms and other e-mail communication and texting is directly between the participant and the Principal Investigator.
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •High-school student-athletes and non-athletes ages 15-18 y
- •Enrolled in at least 6 academic credit hours from the same high school
- •Willing and able to wear wrist-worn Fitbit continuously for 14 days
- •Parental consent will be needed for minors (\<18 years old)
- •Student-athletes need to be competing in a high school recognized sport during the study period
Exclusion Criteria
- •Individual has a condition the Investigator believes would interfere with his ability to provide informed consent, comply with the project/study protocol, which might confound the interpretation of the project/study results or put the person at undue risk
- •Those with a medical history that would interfere with the results of this study.

- •Lack of proficiency in English
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Fitbit mean sleep quantity
Time Frame: Worn for two continuous weeks
Measured in minutes. More minutes are better.
Fitbit mean sleep efficiency
Time Frame: Worn for two continuous weeks
Measured as a percentage (0-100% score representing sleep quality based on heart rate, time awake or restless, and sleep stages). Higher percentage is better.
Secondary Outcomes
- Fitbit steps counted(Two weeks of continuous Fitbit monitoring)
- Subjective sleep (PSQI) scores(Two weeks of continuous Fitbit monitoring)
- Subjective stress (PSS) scores(Two weeks of continuous Fitbit monitoring)
- Dietary REAP(Two weeks of continuous Fitbit monitoring)
