“…A limitation of the TPB is the intention‐behaviour gap, which occurs when intentions do not always translate to behaviour (Sheeran & Webb, 2016). Rebar et al (2020) posit that this may also be true for sleep‐related behaviours. For instance, individuals may have strong intentions to obtain a sleep opportunity of at least 8 hr, but then as they approach bedtime, they avoid going to bed (e.g.…”

“…Future research efforts might consider the use of dual process theories (Strack & Deutsch, 2004), which account for both reflective and automatic processes. These may be particularly effective frameworks for studying sleep‐related behaviours (Rebar et al, 2020). Accordingly, intensive longitudinal designs are an effective framework for testing dual process theories (Dunton et al, 2021), and the present study provides the first example of how to implement this methodology in the context of health behaviour theory and sleep health.…”

Summary Many American adolescents and adults report that they are not meeting sleep duration recommendations. Although insufficient sleep duration can occur due to factors outside an individual's direct control, many individuals choose to restrict their own sleep. The theory of planned behaviour (TPB) offers a framework to study this phenomenon. Recent research efforts have used the TPB to study sleep and have demonstrated success predicting sleep‐related intentions and behaviour but have failed to consider volitional sleep behaviour or consider between‐ and within‐person differences. The present study used an intensive longitudinal design to test how constructs of the TPB relate to nightly sleep opportunity. Healthy college students (N = 79) participated in a weeklong study in which they completed four ecological momentary assessment signals per day that measured their attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, and intentions relating to their nocturnal sleep opportunity. Participants wore an actiwatch each night of the study to measure their sleep opportunity. Mixed linear models found that both intentions and perceived behavioural control were significant predictors of subsequent sleep opportunity, and that perceived behaviour control was the strongest within‐day predictor of intentions. Results demonstrate that within‐person changes in perceived behavioural control and intentions predict subsequent sleep opportunity and provide insight into the potential refinement of sleep promotion efforts.

“…Sleep is essential for performance, given that partial or chronic sleep deprivation may affect performance in many domains (Pilcher and Huffcutt, 1996;Dewald et al, 2010;. The usefulness of habits for sleep interventions has been showcased by Rebar et al (2020). Sleep-based interventions have been shown to be effective in triggering positive sleep habits 2 The search was completed on January 13, 2020, with the Web of Science, all databases included, for the past 10 years (period 2010-2020).…”

“… 36 37 While information is important for education and informing the community, it is rarely sufficient to change behaviour. 38 For example, in a study of Australian adults, while the majority were aware of optimal sleep duration recommendations, almost 25% did not achieve the recommended 7–9 hours of sleep each night. 39 Knowledge is a necessary first step for change, however, motivation, capability and opportunity are also necessary agents for behaviour modification.…”

Does knowledge of sleep hygiene recommendations match behaviour in Australian shift workers? A cross-sectional study

et al. 2022

ObjectivesShiftworkers routinely obtain inadequate sleep, which has major health consequences. Sleep hygiene describes a range of behaviours, lifestyle and environmental factors that can improve sleep. To date, limited research has examined sleep hygiene in shiftworkers. This study aimed to assess the sociodemographic and behavioural correlates of sleep hygiene knowledge and engagement with sleep hygiene practices in Australian shiftworkers.Study designAn online, cross-sectional survey.Setting and participantsAustralian adults from across multiple industries (n=588) who work shift work.MeasuresThe online survey included questions regarding sleep hygiene knowledge and questions from modified versions of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Sleep Hygiene Index.ResultsOf the 588 participants, 52.9% reported having heard of ‘sleep hygiene’. Of these participants, 77.5% reported understanding the term moderately, extremely or very well. Engagement with each sleep hygiene practice was varied. Common sleep hygiene practices were controlling the bedroom environment (eg, a cool, dark and quiet bedroom). Less common practices were avoiding light as bedtime approaches. Logistic regressions revealed that shiftworkers who had heard of sleep hygiene were more likely to engage in sleep hygiene practices and had better sleep quality compared with those who had not heard of sleep hygiene. Increased engagement in sleep hygiene practices did not predict the likelihood of individuals reporting better sleep quality.ConclusionsShiftworkers demonstrated varied knowledge, understanding and engagement with individual sleep hygiene practices. Future research should focus on the development of sleep hygiene interventions that accommodate the unique challenges of shift work to optimise sleep.
