DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Institute of Medicine identified sufficient sleep as one of the leading health behavior objectives for Healthy People 2020. Older (high-school-aged) adolescents are especially vulnerable to insufficient sleep as pubertal changes to sleep regulation (sleep homeostasis and circadian timing) increasingly favor alertness later into the evening and night, making an early sleep onset difficult, and these biological changes coincide with early high school start times. Thus, many high schoolers (aged 14-17 years) are faced with a conflicting biological drive to fall asleep late and a social drive to wake early for school. Approximately 80 to 90% of older adolescents in the U.S. report an average of 1 to 2 h less sleep than recommended on school nights. Sleep restriction is associated with many negative outcomes, including an increased risk for depressed mood and suicidal ideation, poor decision making, poor academic grades, and obesity. The broad objective of this project is to develop an effective, yet feasible intervention to extend school-night sleep duration of older adolescents. This application is in response to PA-11-063, which calls for "...developing and refining novel health-related behavioral interventions specifically targeting adoption or maintenance of health behavior." We propose to develop and test a feasible behavioral intervention to increase school-night sleep duration by advancing the circadian system and providing a time management plan for after-school activities in youngsters most at risk for insufficient school-night sleep - high school students who experience difficulties falling asleep at a desired early time on school nights. Study 1 (intervention development) will examine effectiveness and acceptability of two different durations (30 mins & 90 mins) of morning advancing bright light compared to room light (tested in the lab on one weekend). We will time the bright light based on new data from adolescents collected in our lab. We will use the results of Study 1 in Study 2 (proof of intervention concept), which utilizes morning bright light on one weekend spent in the lab. Weekend wake time - and the start of bright light - and bedtime will shift earlier to advance the circadian system to facilitate earlier sleep onset during the subsequent school week. A school-night time management plan will also be implemented to facilitate these earlier bedtimes. Circadian phase, sleep, neurobehavioral functioning and mood will be measured before and immediately after the intervention and compared to a control group who keeps their usual sleep schedules at home, does not come to the lab for weekend bright light treatment, and is not given any after-school time-management instruction. Long-term effectiveness will be examined after a 3-week maintenance period, during which adolescent will be instructed to follow their earlier and longer sleep schedule and use occasional bright light on weekend mornings at home. Adherence and acceptability of the intervention will be assessed. These data will provide evidence-based treatment strategies for delayed and sleep-restricted adolescents, and acceptability of and adherence to the treatment in this age group.

医学研究所将充足的睡眠确定为2020年健康人群的主要健康行为目标之一。年龄较大（高中年龄）的青少年特别容易受到睡眠不足的影响，因为青春期对睡眠调节（睡眠稳态和昼夜节律）的变化越来越有利于晚些时候和晚上的警觉性，使早期睡眠变得困难，这些生物学变化与早期高中开始时间相吻合。因此，许多高中生（14-17岁）面临着晚睡的生物驱动力和早起上学的社会驱动力之间的冲突。在美国，大约80%到90%的大龄青少年报告说，他们在上学的晚上平均比建议的睡眠时间少1到2小时。睡眠限制与许多负面结果有关，包括抑郁情绪和自杀意念的风险增加，决策能力差，学习成绩差和肥胖。该项目的主要目标是开发一种有效而可行的干预措施，以延长大龄青少年的学校夜间睡眠时间。本申请是对PA-11-063的回应，该申请要求“......开发和完善新的健康相关行为干预措施，特别针对采用或维持健康行为。“我们建议开发和测试一种可行的行为干预措施，通过推进昼夜节律系统来增加学校夜间睡眠时间，并为最有可能出现学校夜间睡眠不足的青少年提供课后活动的时间管理计划-高中学生在学校夜间难以在理想的时间入睡。研究1（干预开发）将检查两种不同持续时间（30分钟和90分钟）的晨间明亮光线与室内光线相比的有效性和可接受性（在一个周末在实验室中进行测试）。我们将根据我们实验室收集的青少年新数据来确定明亮光线的时间。我们将在研究2中使用研究1的结果（干预概念的证明），该研究利用在实验室度过的一个周末的早晨明亮的光线。周末醒来的时间-和明亮的光线的开始-和就寝时间将提前，以促进昼夜节律系统，以促进在随后的学校周更早的睡眠开始。学校还将实施一项学校夜间时间管理计划，以促进这些较早的就寝时间。昼夜节律，睡眠，神经行为功能和情绪将在干预前和干预后立即进行测量，并与对照组进行比较，对照组在家中保持正常的睡眠时间表，周末不来实验室接受强光治疗，也没有给予任何课后时间管理指导。长期有效性将在3周的维持期后进行检查，在此期间，青少年将被指示遵循他们更早和更长的睡眠时间表，并在周末早上在家里偶尔使用明亮的灯光。将评估干预的依从性和可接受性。这些数据将为延迟和睡眠受限的青少年提供基于证据的治疗策略，以及该年龄组对治疗的可接受性和依从性。
