The interventions is designed to be delivered by a behavioral health consultant during routine primary care visits. The treatment components consist of education about good sleep hygiene and the "Bedtime Pass." The hypotheses are that the intervention will be delivered with fidelity in the time allotted, and that parents will rate the intervention as feasible and acceptable.

Pediatric Insomnia Severity Index
The Pediatric Insomnia Severity Index (PISI) is a 6-item, parent-report questionnaire (for children 4-10 years old) designed to measure the severity of insomnia symptoms, including difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, and daytime impairment. It uses a 6-point scale to measure frequency, with higher scores (0-30) indicating more severe insomnia, and has demonstrated reliability and validity.
Time frame: 30 days post-intervention
