Summary

This trial tests a sleep education program called SIESTA, designed with urban Latino middle schoolers in mind. Researchers will compare children who receive the sleep program with those who attend general health sessions. Participants wear sleep-tracking watches and fill out surveys to measure sleep duration, quality, and daily impairment. The goal is to see whether a culturally tailored approach can improve sleep health in a group that often faces barriers to good rest.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
A culturally tailored sleep hygiene education program called SIESTA, delivered through group sessions and individualized coaching with a parent or guardian.
What this could lead to
If it works, this program could offer a practical way to improve sleep health in a group at higher risk for poor sleep, potentially boosting their daily functioning and well-being.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention, so results depend on families sticking with it. The trial is not yet at a large scale, and what works in one urban setting may not translate to others.
