Neighborhood-level sleep health and childhood opportunities.

Objectives: Regional sleep differences may reflect other important indicators of health and well-being. Examining sleep health at the regional level can help inform policies to improve population health. We examined the relationship between neighborhood-level adult sleep health (modeled in this study via adult sleep duration) and other health metrics and multiple indicators of child-relevant opportunity.

App-Supported Sleep Coaching: Implications for Sleep Duration and Sleep Quality.

Objectives: The present study evaluated whether completers of a 12-week app-based, personalized text supported sleep coaching program demonstrated improvements in sleep continuity, sleep duration, and reduced use of sleep aids.

Methods: Data were obtained from Sleep Reset, a 12-week consumer product that offers app-based sleep education and monitoring, along with personalized text-based sleep coaching provided by live coaches. 564 completers were included in the study.

Adverse childhood experiences associated with sleep health in collegiate athletes.

Background: The relationship between adverse childhood experiences and sleep disturbances in collegiate athletes was examined.
