Generative AI for Sleep Promotion
New York University
Summary
Sleep is a major public health concern in the United States. Major guidelines recommend that adults obtain at least 7 hours of sleep per night. More than 25% of U.S. adults do not meet this recommendation, and 14.5% report difficulty falling asleep on most days or every day during the past month. The investigators developed a low-cost, easily accessible sleep intervention using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of this intervention on sleep outcomes among U.S. adults.
Description
After providing informed consent, participants will complete a baseline assessment and then be randomized to either the AI chatbot intervention or a waitlist control. The intervention group will receive immediate access to the AI-powered sleep chatbot for 2 weeks, while the waitlist control group will continue their usual sleep habits without chatbot access. Following the post-intervention assessment, participants in the waitlist control group will receive access to the chatbot. Follow-up assessments will be conducted at 3 and 6 months after randomization.
