Inclusion criteria: * Adults aged 18 to 65 years living in Hong Kong * Chinese language fluency and literacy * Experiencing ≥1 sleep or circadian problems for 3 months based on the Sleep and Circadian Problems Interview, an adapted version of the Insomnia Interview Schedule (i.e., time needed to fall asleep ≥30 minutes for ≥3 nights per week, wake after sleep onset ≥30 minutes for ≥3 nights per week, \<6-hour sleep per night or ≥9-hour sleep per night per 24-hour period for ≥3 nights per week, variability in the sleepweek schedule ≥2.78 hours within a week, and falling asleep after 2:00 AM on ≥3 nights per week) * One or more PROMIS-Sleep Disturbance (PROMIS-SD) item scores ≥4 after reverse scoring * Having adequate opportunity and circumstances for sleep to occur * Installing the JITAI app in an Internet-enabled mobile device (iOS or Android operating system) * Are willing to provide informed consent and comply with the trial protocol.
