Project SHINE: Sleep Extension for African American Adults

This study, Project SHINE, is looking at ways to improve sleep and reduce obesity-related health issues in African American adults. It tests a "sleep extension intervention" which aims to help you get one more hour of sleep over four weeks, using techniques like education about sleep and ways to improve your sleep habits. There's also a "contact control intervention" where you'll receive health education materials. The study wants to see if the sleep intervention is practical and if participants are happy with it. You might be able to join if you are an African American adult between 21 and 75 years old, have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 25 or higher, and usually sleep 6 hours or less.
