Brief summary: Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of sleep education, supported and unsupported with social media reminders, on sleep quality in 14-18 age group adolescents.

Design: This study is in a single-blind randomized controlled design. The study was carried out between October 2019 and January 2020.

Participants: The sample of this study consisted of 60 students randomly selected from three Anatolian High Schools in the city center. The students were divided into 3 groups of 20 people each (Experiment 1, Experiment 2, and Control). According to the scan result, adolescents who have sleep quality (PSQI\>5 and CASQ\>16), use Smartphone and the internet, have no chronic diseases and obesity, and have no mental problems were included in the study. Adolescents who use sleeping pills or any other medication and have communication obstacles were excluded from the study. The study was completed with 55 adolescents due to the separation of 5 adolescents during the experiment.

Intervention: The sleep education group, which was unsupported with social media reminders, was given sleep education for 30 minutes once a week for four weeks at school. In addition to the education at school, information messages and warnings were sent to the sleep education group, which was supported with social media reminders, via WhatsApp. The control group did not receive any intervention other than taking measurements of sleep parameters once a week.

Main Outcome(s) and Measure(s): The data were collected with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Cleveland Adolescent Sleepiness Questionnaire, Adolescent Sleep Habits Form and MI Band 3 device.
