Self-Management of Sleep Among Older Adults Using Personal Monitoring: A Feasibility Study

The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of older persons use of a personal sleep
monitoring device(PSMD)to improve self-management of sleep. Disrupted sleep occurs in up to
50% of persons over the age of 65 with chronic health conditions. Impaired sleep negatively
influences subjective and objective health outcomes.To improve their sleep, older adults with
chronic health conditions could benefit from objective information, available through
personal health monitoring devices, about their current and changing sleep patterns. Based on
this information, sleep self-management interventions can be individualized and shared, and
associations between sleep and health changes may be better managed.


Inclusion Criteria:

- 65 years or older

- Self-report difficulty sleeping

- Willingness to wear the PSMD for four weeks

- Cognitive abilities (Mini Cog of 5 or above).

Exclusion Criteria:

- Under the age of 65

- Presence of known sleep disorders

- Severe cognitive or neurosensory impairment
