Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Ability to recruit participants from primary care measured by site activity reports and recruitment rate during the planned study period (12 months).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Engagement with digital sleep treatment: Proportion of participants who complete = 4 out of 6 Sleepio® intervention sessions by week 12. 2.1. Insomnia measured with the Insomnia severity index (ISI) at baseline and week 12 2.2. Health status measured with the EuroQoL (EQ-5D) at baseline and week 12 2.3. Depressive symptoms measured with the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) at baseline and week 12 2.4. Self-reported sleep measured with the consensus sleep diary (CSD) at baseline and week 12. 2.5. Working memory performance measured with the visual short term memory task (VSTM) at baseline and week 12. 2.6. Rest-activity rhythms measured with actigraphy at baseline and week 12. 2.7. Glucose metabolism recorded by the G6 continuous glucose monitor for 7 days at baseline and week 12 2.8. Fasting blood test (for HbA1c, FBC, C+E/lipids, glucose and biomarker) measured at baseline and week 12. 3. Participant acceptability of the trial ascertained via semi structured interview (performed within 4 weeks of conclusion of 12 week intervention phase).
