Brief summary
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.

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Use of A Personal Sleep Monitoring Device (PSMD) | up to 4 weeks | Demonstrates use of Personal Sleep Self-Monitor through data downloads and self-report |
| Changes in Sleep | Week 1 and Week 4 | Demonstrated sleep changes indicated by change in BRCS NINR PROMIS SF V1 Sleep Disturbance Scale 6a (a 6 item, 5 point likert scale with higher scores reflecting more sleep disturbance and lower scores less. |
| Changes in Health | Week 1 and Week 4 | Demonstrated health changes indicated by change in BRCS NINR PROMIS Global Health Short Form Scale 10a (10 item, 5 point likert scale) with higher scores reflecting better health (3 items reverse scoring) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Usability of PSMD | Week 2 and 4 | Demonstrated through adapted System Usability Scale Scores (10 items, 5 point likert scale) with high agreement demonstrating higher levels of satisfaction using the device |
