Summary
This study aims to help African American adults who don't get enough sleep and have overweight or obesity. Researchers will first talk with community members to understand their sleep habits and beliefs. Then, they will test a sleep improvement program to see if it helps people sleep longer, be more active, and improve health markers. The goal is to reduce health disparities related to obesity.
