Sleep deprivation is a prevalent problem in modern societies. Sleep deprivation can cause hormonal changes, such as an increase in cortisol, as well as inflammation. Animal studies have shown an increase in inflammatory cytokine production following sleep deprivation. Additionally, humans experiencing sleep deprivation may experience a decrease in natural killer cells and lymphocytes. Physicians, particularly those in surgical specialties, are often subjected to sleep deprivation as part of their medical residency training. This study hypothesizes that after 24-hour shifts, there is an increase in inflammatory response and impairment of the immune response against unspecific activation. This proposal aims to provide insight into the impact of sleep deprivation on the immune system of surgery residents by characterizing the phenotype and function of immune cells, as well as their correlation with biometric data.

The goal of this interventional study is to learn if a digital sleep extension intervention can improve sleep and mood in young urban adults with mood symptoms. The main questions it aims to answer are: Will this intervention improve sleep? Will this intervention improve mood? Does the effect of this intervention change based on environmental factors like noise and light pollution? Researchers will compare participants receiving the sleep intervention to participants receiving a "general healthy living" intervention to see if outcome are different across groups. Participants will: * receive 6 weeks of brief once weekly telephone coaching and read once weekly educational content * have their sleep monitored daily with a FitBit and Somnofy sleep device and during the 6-week intervention period * respond to questionnaires at the start of the intervention, halfway through the intervention, at the end of the intervention, and finally 4 weeks after completing the intervention
