Chronic sleep deprivation among adolescents is a prevalent health problem across the world and is associated with a series of short and long term consequences. However, effective interventions targeting on this vulnerable adolescent population is very limited. Majority of the previous sleep education programme are conducted in a school context which personal factors and individualized problems were not addressed. In addition, failure to address "knowledge-action gap" may also explain why individual fail to enact health behaviors even holding positive motivation. In regard to this, investigators proposed an active and person-oriented protocol with the aid of advanced technology in order to improve adolescent sleep health.

Exclusion criteria
refer to the arm description
Other names: Motivational interviewing
Time frame: Baseline, 1 week, 3 month and 6 month after treatment
Daily sleep diary for consecutive seven days. Sleep parameter estimated by daily sleep diary: total sleep time (TST) in hours
Time frame: Baseline, 1 week, 3 month and 6 month after treatment
Sleep parameter estimated by actigraphy: total sleep time (TST) in hours
Time frame: Baseline, 1 week, 3 month and 6 month after treatment
Sleep knowledge is measured by Sleep Knowledge Questionnaire. It consists of 25 items, ranging from -50 to 50 with higher score indicates better sleep knowledge
Time frame: Baseline, 1 week, 3 month and 6 month after treatment
Paediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale (PDSS) is an 8-item self-rated scale measuring daytime sleepiness, ranging in total scores from 0 to 32 with higher scores indicating more sleepiness.
Time frame: Baseline, 1 week, 3 month and 6 month after treatment
KIDSCREEN-27 health questionnaire for children and young people for the measurement of quality of life by rating 27 items related to general health on a 5 point Likert scale.
There are five subscales on: physical well-being (possibly scored from 5 to 25), psychological well-being (possibly scored 7 to 35), autonomy & parents (possibly scored 7 to 35), peers & social support (possibly scored 4 to 20), and school environment (possibly scored 4 to 20). A grand total score can be calculated by summing up the five sub scores. In all cases, a higher score represents higher perceived well-being.
Time frame: Baseline, 1 week, 3 month and 6 month after treatment
Adolescent Sleep Hygiene Scale (ASHS): It is a 28-item instrument used to assess how adolescent apply sleep hygiene practice. total score range from 28 to 168 with higher score indicates better sleep practice. The instrument assessed adolescent sleep practice in nine domains: physiological(5 items, score 5-30), cognitive(6 items, score: 6 to 36), emotional(3 items; score: 3-18), sleep environment(4 items; score: 4-24), daytime sleep(1 items; score 1-6), substance(2 items; score: 2 to 12), bedtime routine(1 items; score:1-6), sleep stability(4 items; score: 4 to 16) and bedroom sharing(2 items; score 2-12).
Time frame: Baseline, 1 week, 3 month and 6 month after treatment
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a self-assessed scale for detecting states of depression and anxiety. The depression subscale range in scores from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating severer states of depression. Similarly, the anxiety subscale range in scores from 0-21 with higher scores indicating severer states of anxiety. No additional computation will be made with the two subscores.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 month and 6 month after treatment
Academic performance is evaluated by the difference in average grade point between baseline, 3 month and 6 month.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 month and 6 month after treatment
Go/No-go Task for assessing inhibitory ability. In Go/No-go Task, a higher error rate indicates lower inhibition control.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 month and 6 month after treatment
Digit Span Task for assessing working memory capacity. In Digit Span Task, a higher number of recalled digits indicates better working memory.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 month and 6 month after treatment
N-back Task for assessing working memory capacity and manipulation. In N-back Task, a d prime score will be calculated based on the signal detection theory, where a higher score indicates better working memory performance.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 month and 6 month after treatment
Balloon Analogue Risk Task for assessing risk-taking and decision-making. In Balloon Analogue Risk Task, a score will be calculated by averaging the number of pumps on unexploded blue balloons, where a higher score indicates more risk-taking and impulsive propensities.
