TAPAS Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: TAPASExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will participate in the TAPAS intervention, which will consist of one in-person engagement session with a therapist and 8 weeks of web-based automated intervention prompts. The program will utilize empirically supported approaches for promoting sleep health, delivered in-person and via text-message, focusing on: tailored psychoeducation, motivation and efficacy to change sleep, extending sleep duration, and regularizing sleep timing across the week.
Group II: Sleep monitoring only, then TAPASExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will participate in sleep monitoring only first, then participate in the TAPAS intervention. First, participants will monitor sleep with sleep diary, but they will not receive feedback or any other information on to sleep.TAPAS will consist of one engagement session with a therapist and 4 weeks of web-based automated intervention prompts. The program will utilize empirically supported approaches for promoting sleep health, delivered in-person and via text-message, focusing on: tailored psychoeducation, motivation and efficacy to change sleep, extending sleep duration, and regularizing sleep timing across the week. Sleep monitoring is proposed to last the same duration as the targeted intervention in this arm.
