Overview
Brief Summary
This will be a study looking at trying to change community-dwelling older adults' behavior in regard to good sleep hygiene practices. Investigators will assess the efficacy through subjective outcome measures and objective physiological markers of good sleep through data collected with wearable technology devices.
Detailed Description
Community-dwelling older adults will be recruited and placed into one of two groups. Group one will watch a one-time educational video on sleep hygiene and group two will watch the video plus be sent daily automated text messages to reinforce the education learned in the video. The participants will receive the text messages for a total of 4 weeks. The control group will not receive any intervention during this time frame. Following the initial meeting, all participants will wear the sleep tracker on their wrists during the day and night for 4 weeks. The sleep tracker will monitor the physiological markers of sleep provided by wearable technology on sleep efficiency, time in bed, time actually sleeping, and time spent at each stage of sleep. At the end of the 4-week study period, the researchers will once again meet with each participant. The participant will complete the following questionnaires once again.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change Score From Baseline to 4-week Follow up on the Sleep Hygiene Index
Time Frame: Baseline and 4-week follow up
Outcome measure for good sleep hygiene. Scores range from 0-52. Higher scores equate to worse sleep hygiene.
Change Score From Baseline to 4-week Follow up on the Numeric Pain Rating Scale
Time Frame: Baseline and 4-week follow up
Outcome measure for average pain levels. Scores range from 0-10. Higher scores equate to higher pain levels.
Change Score From Baseline to 4-week Follow up on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index
Time Frame: Baseline and 4-week follow up
Outcome measure for quality of sleep. Score ranges 0-21 with higher score equaling poor sleep quality
Change Score From Baseline to 4-week Follow up on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale
Time Frame: Baseline and 4-week follow up
Outcome measure for average daytime sleepiness. Scores range from 0-24. Higher scores equate to worse daytime sleepiness.
Change Score From Baseline to 4-weeks for Participants' Sleep Efficiency Using Wearable Technology.
Time Frame: Baseline, 4-week follow up
Sleep efficiency scores will be calculated using a sleep tracker device and are defined as time spent in bed versus time spent actually sleeping. 85% or higher is considered normal sleep efficiency. The average sleep efficiency score for the first three days at baseline and average sleep efficiency from the last 3 days of the 4 week study period will be used to gather the change score.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change Scores From Baseline to 4-week Follow up for Participant's Body Mass Index(baseline and 4-week follow up)
- Change Score From Baseline to 4-week Follow up on the Perceived Stress Scale(Baseline and 4-week follow up)
- Change Score From Baseline to 4-week Follow up on the Patient Specific Functional Scale(Baseline and 4-week follow up)
