Student Exercise and Sleep Timing Study - Part 2
This study is looking at how changing when you exercise might affect your sleep, mood, stress, and how productive you are. It focuses on undergraduate students aged 18-23 who usually exercise in the evening (6pm-11pm) and feel their sleep quality is poor. The study will ask participants to switch their exercise routine to the morning (6am-11am). Researchers want to see if this change improves sleep quality and duration, as well as mood (like feeling happier and less anxious). The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status and plans to enroll 62 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 62 healthy undergraduate students.
- What's involved
- You would be asked to wear a wrist actigraph (a device that tracks movement and sleep) 24/7, except when showering or bathing. The main change would be shifting your exercise from evening to morning.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Sleep quality will be measured at 2 weeks.

What this trial measures
- Sleep Quality2 weeks
Determine if, compared to a control condition (maintaining usual schedule), shifting exercise from evening to morning improves sleep (quality and duration). Sleep quality includes variables such as the actigraph measured sleep period, total sleep time, sleep efficiency, and wake after sleep onset. Sleep quality and duration will be measured using wrist actigraphy, specifically the Phillips Actiwatch Spectrum Plus devices. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale will also be utilized to measure sleep quality, where scores range from 0-24 and higher scores signify more exhaustion and poorer sleep quality.
