Summary

The pilot study will test the feasibility of a 16-week sleep extension intervention, in adults with obesity, to increase nighttime sleep duration, as well as reduce daytime sleepiness and sleep-related disturbance. The study will also examine changes in weight, eating behaviors, wellbeing, and blood pressure across the 16-week intervention .

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Sleep Extension

The 16-week protocol includes 11 total individual visits that integrate applicable elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and health behavior change theory. The first 6 weeks include weekly sessions (\~45 minutes each) focused on psychoeducation about sleep, goal-setting and self-monitoring, stimulus control, addressing cognitive and somatic arousal, sleep hygiene, and challenging negative thoughts about sleep. Sleep restriction will also be used in specific cases where sleep efficiency is low (\<85%). The remaining 10 weeks include briefer biweekly visits (5 visits, \~15-20 minutes each) to reinforce health behavior change strategies through topics such as problem-solving barriers, utilizing social support, identifying setbacks and creating an action plan, and relapse prevention. Self-reported sleep diary data and subjective sleepiness will be collected at each visit.
