Enhanced Sleep Health Education
Beds for Kids Standard Program
50 families will be randomly assigned to receive sleep health education delivered in two telephone sessions by Beds for Kids staff members, in addition to receiving the standard Beds for Kids program (bed, bedding, written sleep education materials). The first session will occur approximately 2-3 days before bed delivery. The second 15-20-minute session will occur approximately one week following bed delivery. Sleep health education training and supervision of Beds for Kids staff members will be provided by board-certified Behavioral Sleep Medicine providers. Sleep health information will be manualized and will consist of evidence-based pediatric sleep health behaviors: ensuring adequate sleep duration, developing a bedtime routine, keeping a regular sleep schedule, avoiding caffeine, and eliminating electronics in the bedroom and at bedtime. The enhanced sleep health intervention sessions will also include individualized problem-solving and tailoring to meet the family's needs.
