Dyadic Multidimensional Sleep Health Promotion for Couples

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a single-arm, pre-post pilot study adapting an individual sleep health program for cohabitating partners. The intervention delivers a structured, multi-component sleep health promotion designed to address multiple sleep dimensions and the home sleep environment. Participants will complete a screening process, attend two in-person visits, receive intervention materials, have blood pressure measured, and wear sleep monitors to track changes. Weekly check-in calls support adherence and monitor progress, with outcomes including sleep health, office and out-of-office blood pressure, and adiposity and psychosocial measures. The study aims to explore how dyadic dynamics influence the effects on sleep and cardiometabolic health in adults aged 30–65 without existing cardiovascular disease.
