Description: Our study examines the acceptability and feasibility of Moshi, an audio-based mobile application, among children 3–8 years old using a parent–child dyadic approach. Our 10-day within-subject pre–post study design consisted of five nights of a normal bedtime routine and a subsequent five nights exposed to one story on the Moshi application during the intervention. Each five-night period spanned three weeknights and two weekend nights. The Short-Form Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (SF-CSHQ) was used to measure children’s sleep at baseline and post-intervention. The PROMIS, Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were used to assess parents’ sleep. Among the 25 child–parent dyads, the mean child age was 4 (SD = 1.23) and 63% were male (n = 15). Mean parent age was 35 (SD = 5.83), 84% were female (n = 21), and 48.0% were Black (n = 12). For child-only comparisons, mean post-SF-CSHQ measures were lower compared to baseline. A trend in parent sleep is reported. This study shows the potential of an audio-based mobile sleep aid to improve sleep health in a racially diverse parent and child dyad sample.
