Personalizing a sleep health APP for college students using personality traits and chronotype

This paper seeks to address the issue of sleep deprivation among college students by proposing an innovative approach to personalizing a smartphone app. The app uses personality traits and chronotype to provide customized feedback to a user about his/her sleep patterns. Personality and chronotype are assessed using questionnaires implemented in the app, the results of which influence the content, timing and length of the app's weekly reminders encouraging healthier sleep behavior. This approach can be applied to any health-related smartphone app that aims to support behavioral change.
