Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: There will be two arms of the study including intervention and a control group.
Primary purpose: PREVENTION

Brief summary: This will be a study looking at trying to change community-dwelling older adults' behavior in regard to good sleep hygiene practices. Investigators will assess the efficacy through subjective outcome measures and objective physiological markers of good sleep through data collected with wearable technology devices.

Detailed description: Community-dwelling older adults will be recruited and placed into one of two groups. Group one will watch a one-time educational video on sleep hygiene and group two will watch the video plus be sent daily automated text messages to reinforce the education learned in the video. The participants will receive the text messages for a total of 4 weeks. The control group will not receive any intervention during this time frame. Following the initial meeting, all participants will wear the sleep tracker on their wrists during the day and night for 4 weeks. The sleep tracker will monitor the physiological markers of sleep provided by wearable technology on sleep efficiency, time in bed, time actually sleeping, and time spent at each stage of sleep. At the end of the 4-week study period, the researchers will once again meet with each participant. The participant will complete the following questionnaires once again.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Any adult between the ages of 50 and 80 will be recruited for the study

Exclusion Criteria:

* Anyone with a diagnosed sleep disorder such as insomnia or obstructive sleep apnea, and the inability to wear any sleep tracking device on their wrist.
