Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Change in sleep duration
The primary outcome for aims 1 and 3 is change in nighttime sleep duration (hours per night) on weeknights measured by a sleep tracker with high sensitivity and moderate specificity for measuring sleep.
baseline to 12 months
Change in fat mass index Z-score
Aim 2 primary outcome. Total body fat mass will be measured by DXA. Fat mass index (FMI, kg of fat divided by height in meters squared) will be calculated, and age and gender specific FMI Z-scores will be determined using U.S. specific FMI growth charts.
Baseline to 12 months
Secondary Outcomes (11)
Change in sleep onset
Baseline to 12 months
Change in sleep offset

Interventions
Investigators will determine if a fixed guideline-based goal (≥9 hours per night) is more efficacious for increasing sleep duration.
Investigators will determine if a personalized goal (≥9 hours per night, but can be lowered to a personalized level, capped at +30 minutes per night above baseline) is more efficacious for increasing sleep duration.
All participants will receive digital sleep health messaging. Messaging will focus on evidence-based sleep health recommendations, such as regulating evening electronics use, managing extracurricular activities, and setting consistent bedtime routines and sleep-wake schedules. This group will NOT have virtual psychological visits.
All participants will receive digital sleep health messaging. Messaging will focus on evidence-based sleep health recommendations, such as regulating evening electronics use, managing extracurricular activities, and setting consistent bedtime routines and sleep-wake schedules. The participants will be randomized to additionally receive virtual study visits where doctoral-level psychology trainees will be trained to implement evidence-based behavioral sleep health guidance.
No parental incentive
Parents will receive a financial incentive when their child achieves their sleep goal. The incentive will be loss-framed; parents will receive an endowment of $10 at the start of each intervention week, in a virtual bank account; Investigators will deduct $2 each weeknight the sleep duration goal is not met; the funds remaining in the virtual account will be dispensed each Sunday. The weekly endowment-payment approach allows for fresh starts each week. The incentive will be directed at parents as a method to enhance engagement. Investigators will ask parents at baseline and at the end of each month to rate their perceived support in helping their child to meet their sleep duration goal.
No supportive feedback
Participants will receive a weekly performance summary message each Sunday during the intervention period, with supportive feedback included to motivate children to maintain their good performance in the week ahead, or to try and improve upon a weak or moderate performance in the week ahead. Investigators will ask children will complete an online survey each Sunday to measure how motivated they are to achieve their sleep goal in the week ahead.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Aged 8-12 years olds.
- Insufficient sleep duration (\<8.5 hours per night).
- Body mass index (BMI) between the 50th and 95th percentile for age and sex.
- One child per family.
You may not qualify if:
- Diagnosed with a chronic disease.
- Diagnosed with a behavioral health problem.
- Diagnosed with a condition that can impact sleep or growth.
- Diagnosed with a condition affecting physical growth and maturation or dietary intake.
- Children with a history of cancer, kidney, GI, musculoskeletal, or sleep disorders.
- Children who will transition to high-school during the study.
- Children using steroids/hormones.
- Children regularly taking medications
