Brief summary
Adolescent's poor sleep habits have been linked to adverse outcomes. Recent advances in activity tracking have provided researchers with cost-effective and non-invasive measurements of sleep in a free-living environment. The primary objective is to determine the mean differences in Fitbit accelerometer sleep quantity (mins) between High School student-athletes and non-athletes during a competitive academic semester over continuous monitoring for two weeks.
Detailed description
Secondary objectives are to measure and determine: * If a relationship exist between self-reported Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) sleep scores and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) scores compared to mean Fitbit accelerometer sleep quantity and efficiency (sleep quality) based on heart rate, time awake or restless over two weeks * If dietary habits have a significantly correlated relationship to subject group, sleep quantity, sleep efficiency and steps/day * If mean differences exist in Fitbit steps counted between student-athletes and non-athletes over two weeks * If a relationship exists between mean Fitbit accelerometer steps counted and mean sleep quantity and efficiency over two weeks All Fitbits are monitored remotely by the Principal investigator. This is a fully remote study (no physical study sites). Participants are recruited from 3 high schools (IRB approved). Consent, study forms and other e-mail communication and texting is directly between the participant and the Principal Investigator.

Inclusion criteria
1. High-school student-athletes and non-athletes ages 15-18 y 2. Enrolled in at least 6 academic credit hours from the same high school 3. Willing and able to wear wrist-worn Fitbit continuously for 14 days 4. Parental consent will be needed for minors (\<18 years old) 5. Student-athletes need to be competing in a high school recognized sport during the study period
Exclusion criteria
1. Individual has a condition the Investigator believes would interfere with his ability to provide informed consent, comply with the project/study protocol, which might confound the interpretation of the project/study results or put the person at undue risk 2. Those with a medical history that would interfere with the results of this study. 3. Under the care of a physician 4. Skin sensitivities 5. Sleep disorders 6. Using prescription medications that would impact sleep 7. Pregnant 8. Smoker 9. Drug or alcohol user 10. Not able to wear wrist-worn Fitbit continuously for 14 days 11. Non-athletes must not be in an organized sport 12. Lack of proficiency in English 13. Lack of proficiency or access to the internet and email address 14. Are not employed by, or have a parent, guardian or other immediate family member employed by, a company that manufactures any products that compete with any Gatorade products. If you are unsure if a company would be considered a competitor to Gatorade, please let the study investigator know the name of the other company and the nature of your relationship to that company before you sign this form 15. No participation in another clinical trial within the past 30 days, and no participation in a PepsiCo protocol within the past 6 months.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Fitbit mean sleep quantity | Worn for two continuous weeks | Measured in minutes. More minutes are better. |
| Fitbit mean sleep efficiency | Worn for two continuous weeks | Measured as a percentage (0-100% score representing sleep quality based on heart rate, time awake or restless, and sleep stages). Higher percentage is better. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Fitbit steps counted | Two weeks of continuous Fitbit monitoring | Physical activity measure. More steps are better. |
| Subjective sleep (PSQI) scores | Two weeks of continuous Fitbit monitoring | Subjective sleep PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) scores (0-21). Higher scores are worse. |
| Subjective stress (PSS) scores | Two weeks of continuous Fitbit monitoring | Perceived stress PSS (Perceived Stress Scale) scores (0-40). Higher scores are worse. |
| Dietary REAP | Two weeks of continuous Fitbit monitoring | Rapid Eating Assessment for Patients (REAP) scores (30-89). Higher scores are better. |
