Insufficient Sleep, Type 1 Diabetes
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this study is to identify causes of insufficient sleep and sleep disruptors in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. For this study, adolescents will wear an actigraphy watch and complete sleep diaries for seven days. On completion of the seven days, they will complete several questionnaires regarding sleep, fear of hypoglycemia, and anxiety and depression. A subset of participants will additionally complete a qualitative interview session to obtain a deeper understanding of sleep disruptors and barriers and facilitators to improving sleep health.
