  "abstract": "Introduction In Scotland, approximately 40% of 14-year-olds fail to acquire 8-10 hours of sleep. 1 Adolescents have identified caregivers and health professionals (HPs) as stakeholders influencing their sleep.2 This study aimed to explore these stakeholders’ perspectives on sleep and co-produce a tailored adolescent sleep intervention.Methods This qualitative study involved two study groups, caregivers and HPs, who took part in three remote focus group discussion workshops via Microsoft Teams (July 2025). Workshops 1 and 2 explored stakeholders’ knowledge, beliefs and strategies of sleep and were analysed via thematic analysis. In workshop 3, participants co-produced an adolescent sleep intervention.Results The caregiver group (n=8) analysis identified four themes: (1) caregivers’ understanding of sleep, (2) factors influencing adolescent sleep, (3) family and adolescent sleep, and (4) conceptualising a sleep intervention ( figure 1). Caregivers co-produced a hybrid intervention: an app with short-form videos filmed by influencers/celebrities for healthy sleep behaviour promotion and parent-child sleep tracking, and school workshops delivered by sleep experts to provide further sleep education and encourage open sleep discussions.The HP group (n=4) analysis revealed six themes: (1) HPs’ understanding of sleep, (2) sources of sleep information, (3) factors influencing adolescent sleep, (4) addressing adolescent sleep problems, (5) sleep and society, and (6) conceptualising a sleep intervention (figure 2). HPs co-produced an adolescent-led sleep app with educational short-form videos delivered by sleep experts, guided sleep promoting exercises, and sleep progress tracking.Discussion Co-production with adolescent sleep stakeholders offers a promising strategy for developing effective adolescent sleep interventions. Both groups designed apps to raise awareness of sleep’s benefits, improve sleep quality and quantity, and reduce poor sleep habits. Although designing a sleep app may seem counterintuitive, digitalizing adolescent sleep interventions reflects the trend towards leveraging technology to enhance sleep health. Future collaborations with adolescents are necessary to refine and test these interventions.References Scottish Government.
