Overview

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a morning exercise intervention on sleep (quality and duration), mood (positive affect, anxiety, depression, anger), stress and productivity among undergraduate students (18-23 years) evening-exercisers with poor self-reported sleep quality.

Aim 1. Compared to the control condition, evening-exercisers prescribed morning exercise will exhibit improved sleep quality (increased efficiency, decreased fragmentation) and increased sleep duration.

Aim 2. Compared to the control condition, evening-exercisers prescribed morning exercise will exhibit improved mood (increased positive affect, decreased depression, anxiety and anger).

Aim 3. Compared to the control condition, evening-exercisers prescribed morning exercise will exhibit decreased stress and increased productivity.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Healthy undergraduates (18-23 years)
  • Frequent evening exercisers (6pm-11pm, 3+ times per week)
  • Poor self-reported sleep quality
  • Must be willing to wear wrist actigraph 24/7 except when showering/bathing

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Sleep/circadian rhythm disorders
  • Medications for sleep
