Circadian-informed Optimal Bedtime
Conditions: Sleep, Alertness, Fatigue, Mood, and Performance, Well-being
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 60 Years
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 203
Sponsor: Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Summary
The goal of this interventional study is to test whether circadian-informed bedtime recommendations can improve sleep, next-day psychomotor vigilance, and subjective well-being among healthy adults. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Can Optimal Bedtime derived from data collected by a consumer smartwatch increase the objective total sleep time?
* Can Optimal Bedtime derived from data collected by a consumer smartwatch reduce the count of lapse in a next-day Psychomotor Vigilance Task?
* Can Optimal Bedtime derived from data collected by a consumer smartwatch increase subjective sleep quality?
Researchers will compare Optimal Bedtime with a placebo bedtime and an unguided baseline in a cross-over design.
Participants will:
* Be randomized 1:1 to either Optimal Bedtime then placebo or placebo then Optimal Bedtime.
* Wear a consumer smartwatch for 6 weeks, 2 weeks in each of baseline, Optimal Bedtime, and placebo.
* Complete a Psychomotor Vigilance Task and a subjective well-being survey every morning.
