What this trial studies

This interventional study tests an AI-powered sleep chatbot delivered via text messages to adults in the United States. Participants are randomized to receive immediate chatbot access for 2 weeks or to a waitlist control, with follow-up assessments at 3 and 6 months. The primary aim is to observe changes in sleep outcomes among adults who report disturbed sleep and have baseline PROMIS Sleep Disturbance scores of 23 or higher. Eligible participants own a smartphone, can use the internet, and can read English. The chatbot is designed to be low-cost and easily accessible, with assessments conducted after the intervention period and during follow-up.
