Detailed Description
A non-randomized convenience sampling study of N=20 adult male or female veterans (> 18 years of age) with self-reporting sleep disturbance and will utilize a Chilipad cooling mattress for the 5-week study period
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Chilipad Arm Subjects will use chilipad nightly for 5 weeks |
Device: chilipad
Chilipad is a commercially available pad designed to be placed between the top of a mattress and bed sheets. It allows for precise temperature regulation in one's bed.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- PROMIS Sleep Related Impairment Short Form [5-week prior intervention]
PROMIS sleep related impairment short form is a questionnaire with 8-item 5-point Likert rating scale survey reflecting DSM-5 for sleep disturbance. The raw score on 8 items is determined, summed for a raw score, then a T-score table is utilized to compare with the subject's individual score. The result, rounded to the nearest whole number determines the score. The survey T-scores are interpreted as: < 55 = none to slight; 55.0 - 59.9 = mild; 60.0 - 69.9 = moderate; and > 70 = severe
- PROMIS Sleep Related Impairment Short Form [5-week after intervention]
PROMIS sleep related impairment short form is a questionnaire with 8-item 5-point Likert rating scale survey reflecting DSM-5 for sleep disturbance. The raw score on 8 items is determined, summed for a raw score, then a T-score table is utilized to compare with the subject's individual score. The result, rounded to the nearest whole number determines the score. The survey T-scores are interpreted as: < 55 = none to slight; 55.0 - 59.9 = mild; 60.0 - 69.9 = moderate; and > 70 = severe
Secondary Outcome Measures
- OURA ring total sleep metric [Nightly for 5 weeks]
OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. The total sleep metric will show hours of sleep each night.
- OURA ring REM metric [Nightly for 5 weeks]
OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. The total REM metric will show the total amount of REM sleep each night.
- OURA ring DEEP sleep metric [Nightly for 5 weeks]
OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. The DEEP sleep metric will show the number of hours of deep sleep each night.
- OURA ring Efficiency metric [Nightly for 5 weeks]
OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. Efficiency means the percentage of time spent sleeping while in bed.
- OURA ring latency metric [Nightly for 5 weeks]
OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. Latency is the amount of time it takes a study participant to fall to sleep.
- OURA ring timing metric [Nightly for 5 weeks]
OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. The timing records individual circadian rhythms.
- OURA ring sleep score metric [Nightly for 5 weeks]
OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. The sleep score metric will be determined by total sleep, efficiency, disturbances, REM sleep, deep sleep, sleep latency, sleep timing and light sleep.The sleep score ranges from 0-100. Higher scores denotes better outcomes.
- OURA ring resting heart rate [Nightly for 5 weeks]
OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. The resting heart rate will be recorded.
- OURA ring respiration rate [Nightly for 5 weeks]
OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. The respiration rate will be recorded.
- OURA ring readiness score [Nightly for 5 weeks]
OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. The readiness score is calculated taking in account sleep balance, previous day activity, activity balance, body temperature, resting heart rate (rhr), recovery index . Score will be between 0 and 100. A lower score indicates a worse outcome.
- OURA ring Skin temperature [Nightly for 5 weeks]
OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. The OURA ring will measure skin temperature.
