Overview
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the usability and feasibility of SOAR (Sleep Optimization to Aid Recovery), a brief and self-guided digital program designed to share evidence-based sleep hygiene information with individuals seeking treatment for an eating disorder. The SOAR program delivers well-established recommendations promoted by the National Sleep Foundation and other professional sleep health organizations. The purpose of this study is not to test a new treatment or intervention per se, but rather to examine how effectively this existing information can be delivered through a digital platform to people preparing for or engaged in eating disorder treatment. By providing these evidence-based strategies in a user-friendly and accessible format, SOAR aims to support healthy sleep habits that may enhance overall well-being and facilitate recovery. The investigators will compare SOAR against a control condition, which would be no intervention (treatment-as-usual). Participants randomized to the control will receive access to SOAR after the follow-up period has ended, if they wish to use it.
Interventions
- Behavioral SOAR
SOAR is administered using the REDCap platform. It consists of a series of videos about the science behind the link between eating disorders and sleep and best practices and tips for sleep health recommended by leading sleep health organizations. SOAR includes sleep hygiene information, videos on stimulus control (a best practices intervention for insomnia), and instructions for setting a regular sleep/wake time. At the end of the program, users will create a sleep action plan using the informat
