The\u00a0Dream Team<\/em> Project<\/h1>\n

Designing Better Sleep for Teens Through Stakeholder Collaboration<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Nearly 40% of Scottish 14-year olds did not meet the NHS recommendation of 8-10 hours of sleep most nights (1<\/a>), a finding which can have notable impacts on adolescent school performance (2<\/a>), mental wellbeing (3<\/a>), and weight (4<\/a>). This project thus calls upon the expertise of key figures who influence adolescent sleep – caregivers and healthcare professionals – to deign feasible interventions to effectively improve teen sleep now and into adulthood.<\/p>\n

Project Scope<\/h2>\n

During adolescence, the evolution of biological<\/strong> rhythms, accompanied by changing social<\/strong> factors and environmental<\/strong> factors can compound to negatively impact sleep quality and quantity.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_icon font_icon=”||fa||900″ icon_color=”#FFFFFF” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_icon][et_pb_text module_class=”white-link” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

During adolescence, changing sleep-wake cycles, or circadian rhythms, tend to contribute to later bedtimes and less sleep (5<\/a>).<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_icon font_icon=”||fa||900″ icon_color=”#FFFFFF” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_icon][et_pb_text module_class=”white-link” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Social changes, such as increased autonomy over caffeine consumption and nighttime screen use, also may negatively impact sleep (6<\/a>).<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_icon font_icon=”||fa||900″ icon_color=”#FFFFFF” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_icon][et_pb_text module_class=”white-link” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Environmental changes – like early school start-times, increasing homework, and extracurriculars – also often push bedtimes back, disturbing sleep (5<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Research has shown us that caregivers<\/strong> and healthcare providers<\/strong> are two of the biggest influences on adolescent sleep patterns.<\/p>\n

Outcomes<\/h3>\n

From the discussions with healthcare professionals and caregivers, some key themes emerged.<\/h4>\n

Key Themes From Caregivers:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Caregivers and healthcare professionals were also tasked with developing an idea for a sleep intervention to help improve adolescent sleep.<\/h4>\n

Find out the ideas the stakeholders came up with below!<\/p>\n

Caregivers developed a\u00a0two-part sleep intervention\u00a0<\/strong>consisting of…<\/p>\n

Part 1) A Sleep Health App<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The caregivers proposed developing a sleep app that serves as both a sleep education tool<\/strong> and sleep tracker<\/strong>. Features would include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Educational content delivered through short-form videos made by popular influencers and fun elements, such as memes.<\/li>\n
  • Sleep tracking features – allowing users to track number of hours sleep, sleep quality, and daily moods.<\/li>\n
  • Parental accounts to monitor child sleep progress.<\/li>\n
  • Access to resources on sleep promoting techniques, such as guided meditations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Part 2) In-Person Workshops<\/strong><\/h5>\n

    Accompanying the app, caregivers thought that 2 in-school workshops would help to reinforce learning and app usage.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • The first workshop could introduce adolescents to the basics of sleep health and familiarise them with the sleep app.<\/li>\n
    • The second could occur after a few months to allow peers to discuss sleep progress.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \u00a0<\/h5>\n

      [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Healthcare Professional-Developed Sleep Intervention” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_color=”#1f4380″ toggle_level=”h4″ toggle_font_size=”22px” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

      Healthcare professionals also came up with an idea for a\u00a0sleep app <\/strong>with\u00a03 different elements<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

      1.\u00a0Educational Content<\/strong><\/h5>\n

      The app would contain a couple weeks worth of short-form videos on sleep health developed by sleep researchers<\/strong> to teach adolescents about sleep. The content would vary based on adolescent age to ensure the teaching was pitched at the right level.<\/p>\n

      2.\u00a0Resources to Improved Sleep<\/strong><\/h5>\n

      The app would include access to resources like breathing exercises, guided meditations, and white noise to help users fall asleep.<\/p>\n

      3. Sleep Tracking Features<\/strong><\/h5>\n

      The app would also serve as a sleep tracking tool, with users self reporting bedtimes and wake-up times. The app would send daily reminders to reinforce this habit of tracking and being mindful of sleep patterns.<\/p>\n
