Sleep disturbances may negatively influence an individual’s mental and psychosocial functioning, with higher education students of particular concern while managing daily stress. This exploratory study examined technology-aided interventions for sleep routine establishment, sleep hygiene, a mindfulness app, and a sensory pillow. Findings suggest improvements in sleep quality and sleep hygiene knowledge, no change in perceived stress, and various changes in objective sleep tracking data.
