Secondary outcomes

1

Insomnia

Insomnia will be measured by Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and actigraphy. The total score on ISI ranges from zero to 28 points, with a higher score indicating more severe insomnia. A total score between 0 and 7 indicates no clinical insomnia; a score of 8 to 14 suggests subthreshold insomnia; 15 to 21 indicates moderate insomnia; and 22 to 28 indicates severe insomnia. The actigraphy will be used in this study is Xiaomi Mi Band 10.

Time frame
Pre-intervention and immediately post-intervention
2

Beliefs and attitudes of sleep

Beliefs and attitudes of sleep will be measured by the Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep Scale-16 (DBAS-16). The total score of the scale is 16-80 points. The higher the total score, the more correct the belief and attitude towards sleep.

Time frame
Pre-intervention and immediately post-intervention
3

Depression

Depression will be measured by 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15). The total score on the scale ranges from zero to 15 points, with the total score above eight points indicating the presence of depression. Higher scores indicate more severe depression.

Time frame
Pre-intervention and immediately post-intervention
4

Anxiety

Anxiety will be measured by Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale. The total score of the scale is 0-21 points, with no anxiety below 5 points, mild anxiety of 5-9 points, moderate anxiety of 10-14 points, and severe anxiety above 14 points.Higher scores indicate more severe anxiety.
