Overview
This is non-controlled feasibility study testing the delivery of a brief sleep intervention for children aged 3-7 who struggle to fall asleep independently. The interventions is designed to be delivered by a behavioral health consultant during routine primary care visits. The treatment components consist of education about good sleep hygiene and the "Bedtime Pass." The hypotheses are that the intervention will be delivered with fidelity in the time allotted, and that parents will rate the intervention as feasible and acceptable.
Interventions

The Bedtime Pass is a small paper card that children will be allowed to exchange for a trip out of their bedroom after bedtime. Once the card has been exchanged, participants will be instructed to ignore any additional pleas from their child. Participants will also be provided with general information about good sleep hygiene.
