Abstract
Youth with CF are at increased risk for physiological and behavioral sleep difficulties
due to disease-specific symptoms and more general pediatric sleep challenges. Despite
evidence suggesting that behavioral sleep interventions are effective for improving
common sleep difficulties, no interventions exist for youth with CF. SLEEP-CF was
designed to fill this gap by providing tailored, flexible behavioral sleep support
to youth with CF. Results suggest that SLEEP-CF is an acceptable and feasible behavioral
sleep intervention, even in a population with normative sleep habits. There may be
benefit in terms of improving sleep knowledge and sleep hygiene. Technology use during
and after bedtime is prevalent. CF care team members are encouraged to assess sleep
as part of routine CF care, and to provide support as indicated.
