What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if asynchronous psychoeducational sleep intervention works to improve college students' levels of self-reported sleep health literacy, sleep quality, and executive functioning.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Can an educational sleep intervention improve college students' sleep health literacy and sleep quality? Does improved sleep health literacy impact sleep quality? Does improved sleep improve executive functioning in a college student sample?
The hypotheses of the present study include the following:
* College students with poor sleep quality will have lower executive functioning
* College students who participate in a brief educational sleep intervention will have more improvements in sleep health literacy compared to college students who do not
* College students who participate in a brief educational sleep intervention will have more improvements in sleep quality compared to college students who do not
* College students who participate in a brief educational sleep intervention will have more improvements in executive functioning compared to college students who do not.
Researchers will compare the intervention group to a wait-list control group to see if college students who watch the psychoeducational sleep intervention have more improvements in sleep quality, sleep health literacy, and executive functioning than those who do not.
Participants will:
* Complete a pre-intervention survey
* Respond to a post-intervention survey six weeks after the pre-intervention survey
* Be randomly assigned to watch a 30-to 45-minute psychoeducational sleep lecture video either during the pre-intervention survey or after the post-intervention survey

Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Participants assigned to this arm will undergo a 30-to 45-minute psychoeducational sleep lecture video. This video will be embedded in the pre-intervention survey packet.
The wait-list control group will not receive the 30-to 45-minute psychoeducational sleep lecture video prior to completing post-intervention surveys. Participants assigned to this arm will be granted access to the intervention at the conclusion of the post-intervention survey.
