SASI Acceptability Questionnaire Score at Pre-InterventionPrimary· Baseline
14-item questionnaire assessing acceptability of SASI. Items are ranked on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The total score is the average item score and ranges from 1-5. Higher total scores indicate greater overall acceptability.

Change in SAFTEE Questionnaire ScoresSecondary· Baseline, Week 15
128-item questionnaire asking participants to rank the level by which they have been bothered in the past week by common physical complaints people have, such as headaches, eye irritation, nasal congestion, etc. Items ranked on 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 5 (extremely). The total score is the average score of each item and ranges from 1-5; lower scores indicate less physical complaints. The change score is calculated as the change in scores between baseline and Week 15; the change score may range anywhere from 0-5.

This pilot study will test the acceptability and feasibility of a sleep extension intervention in community-dwelling, short-sleeping, racially/ethnically diverse middle-aged adults with MetS. Baseline sleep habits will be assessed and used to guide individualized strategies to extend sleep. A 1-group pretest-posttest study design will test the efficacy of this 18-week study (2 weeks of baseline data collection, 1 week of study intervention planning, 12 weeks of sleep intervention delivery, final follow up 3 weeks after last day of the 12-week intervention) on sleep duration, MetS risk behaviors (reduced physical activity, increased sedentary behavior, poor diet quality), symptoms associated with MetS risk behaviors (poor affective well-being, fatigue), and self-regulation. Socio-ecological barriers and facilitators to the intervention will be identified using a quantitative and qualitative approac
