Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Brief behavioural intervention

Participants will receive a brief behavioural intervention comprising a regularity-focused sleep diary, 10 tips for maintaining sleep regularity, and a sleep education information sheet. The regularity-focused sleep diary is designed to emphasize in-bed and out-of-bed times, drawing participants' attention to their sleep regularity. Participants will be provided with a yellow marker to highlight their sleep periods. The 10 tips for maintaining sleep regularity include establishing a consistent out-of-bed time, using natural light to regulate the circadian clock, adjusting mealtimes, etc. The sleep education sheet contains information on reducing caffeine intake in the afternoon, limiting screen time before bed, etc.

BEHAVIORAL

Health education

Participants will receive general health information without specific emphasis on sleep, such as weight control, smoking cessation, etc.
