简要总结
This study will employ a randomized controlled trial design to investigate the effects of a brief behavioral intervention that includes (1) self-recording of a regularity-focused sleep diary, (2) 10 strategies for maintaining sleep regularity, and (3) a sleep education information sheet on the maintenance of sleep regularity in young adults during the Christmas break.

盲法说明
Due to the nature of the intervention, participants cannot be blinded. However, they will be unaware of the true aim of the study and will be informed that the intervention is intended to enhance overall well-being. Outcome measures will be administered by research personnel who are blinded to group allocation.

- •Young adults aged 18-24 years;
- •Will stay in Hong Kong during the study period;

排除标准
- •Have been in a different time zone within two weeks before the baseline assessment;
- •Diagnosed with circadian rhythm disorders such as delayed sleep-wake phase disorder (DSWD), advanced sleep-wake phase disorder (ASWD), irregular sleep-wake rhythm disorder (ISWRD), and non-24-hour sleep-wake rhythm disorder (N24WSD);
- •Diagnosed with sleep disorders that directly/indirectly interfere with sleep regularity (e.g., insomnia, sleep apnea);

- •Diagnosed with serious physical or mental diseases such as cancer, end-stage liver or kidney diseases, schizophrenia, and psychosis.
结局指标
主要结局
Sleep regularity
时间窗: From baseline assessment to the end of intervention at 3 weeks
Sleep regularity will be measured by the validated Chinese version of sleep regularity questionnaire (SRQ), which shows excellent reliability and validity. SRQ consists of six items focusing on two dimensions, circadian regularity and sleep continuity regularity. Each item is rated on a scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much) in terms of the degree to which they agreed with each statement, with higher scores indicating higher sleep regularity.
次要结局
- Severity of depression(From baseline assessment to the end of intervention at 3 weeks)
- Severity of anxiety(From baseline assessment to the end of intervention at 3 weeks)
- Work and social functioning(From baseline assessment to the end of intervention at 3 weeks)
- Severity of depression(From baseline assessment to the end of intervention at 3 weeks)
- Severity of anxiety(From baseline assessment to the end of intervention at 3 weeks)
