Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in sleep quantity as recorded by wearable sleep tracking device. [Timeframe Baseline to Week 4] | 4 weeks | All participants will wear a sleep tracking device (e.g. Fitbit, Whoop, Oura etc) to record their total time asleep each night. |
| Changes in scores on the Sleep Quality Scale (SQS). [Timeframe Baseline to Week 4] | 4 weeks | Consisting of 28 items, the SQS evaluates six domains of sleep quality: daytime symptoms, restoration after sleep, problems initiating and maintaining sleep, difficulty waking, and sleep satisfaction. Using a four-point, Likert-type scale, respondents indicate how frequently they exhibit certain sleep behaviors (0 = few, 1 = sometimes, 2 = often, and 3 = almost always). |
| Changes in self-reported energy levels. [Timeframe: Baseline to Week 12] | 12 weeks | Measured via study-specific questionnaires. Participants will answer on a Likert scale (0-5) with 0 indicating the best score and 5 indicating the worse score. |
| Changes in self-reported cognitive function. [Timeframe: Baseline to Week 12] | 12 weeks | Measured via study-specific questionnaires. Participants will answer on a Likert scale (0-5) with 0 indicating the best score and 5 indicating the worse score. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Changes in self-reported caffeine side effects, | 12 weeks | Measured via study-specific questionnaires reviewing jitters, caffeine crashes, anxiety, negative moods and dependency. Participants will answer on a Likert scale (0-5) with 0 indicating the best score and 5 indicating the worse score. |
