Summary

This is a quasi-experimental study with pre-post assessment using a convenience sample of Calm and Oura employees. We will employ two weeks of baseline data collection and administer the intervention for four-weeks. Participants will be randomized to one of three groups (i.e., general meditations, sleep meditations, or Sleep Stories). Self-report assessments will be conducted during baseline periods and during week 1 and week 4 of the intervention. Sleep diaries and objective (i.e., Oura ring and Calm app) usage data will be collected on a continual basis during intervention.

The purpose of this study is to:

1. Test the preliminary effects of using Calm (daytime vs nighttime) for four weeks on sleep outcomes (sleep quality, sleep onset, sleep efficiency, number of nighttime awakenings, total sleep time) using self-report and objective measures.

1. Self-report: Sleep diaries, pre-sleep arousal (Pre-Sleep Arousal Survey), fatigue (Fatigue Severity Scale), daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale), insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index), sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index)
2. Objective: Oura ring (sleep onset, sleep efficiency, number of nighttime awakenings, total sleep time, REM/light/deep sleep).
2. Test the preliminary effects of using Calm (daytime vs nighttime) on neurophysiological outcomes \[heart rate variability (HRV), heart rate, respiratory rate\] as measured by the Oura ring during meditation and after four-weeks of mobile meditation practice.

BEHAVIORAL

The Calm app

All participants (n=100) will be asked to download the Calm app to their phone. Participants will then receive an email containing 4-weeks of free access to Calm. All participants be asked to use Calm once per day for at least 10 minutes based on their group assignment (i.e., general meditation during daytime, sleep meditation before bed, or sleep stories before bed). Participants will be asked to turn on the "take a moment" feature in the Oura app in order for the Oura ring to collect neurophysiological measures before, during, and after meditations. Additionally, participants will be asked to complete sleep diaries every day throughout the intervention.
