Summary

This trial tests whether a brief educational video about sleep can help college students sleep better and think more clearly. About 300 undergraduate students will be randomly assigned to watch the sleep lecture either right away or after a waiting period. Researchers will compare changes in sleep quality, sleep knowledge, and executive functioning between the two groups to see if the lecture makes a difference.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: A 30-45 minute psychoeducational sleep lecture covering sleep hygiene and stimulus control, delivered asynchronously to college students.
What this could lead to: If effective, this brief educational session could offer a low-cost, scalable way to improve sleep and cognitive performance in college students.
What could go wrong: The intervention is short and relies on self-report, so improvements may be modest or not lasting. Results may not generalize beyond college students.
