Study design:
Study Part 1 In the first study part, participants registered for the study by providing their e-mail address and received an e-mail with a QR code that led them to the study in the Samply Research app. Study Part 2 The baseline questionnaire was sent out on 25 April 2022 and could be completed until 01 May 2022. Only participants who completed the baseline questionnaire at least to the point where they indicated their three personal goals were able to continue participating in the study. Completing the baseline questionnaire took about 20 – 25 minutes. Study Part 3 Participants received three daily and an additional fourth (evening) questionnaire over a three-week period (from 02 May 2022 to 22 May 2022). Daily questionnaires could be opened for up to 60 minutes after receiving the notification and took about 2 – 3 minutes to complete. Completion of the evening questionnaire took about 4 – 5 minutes. Participants were instructed to complete the evening questionnaire before going to bed. The evening questionnaire could be opened for up to eight hours after the notifications were sent.

Assessment windows differed depending on the day of the week (see study protocol, Table 2, for details: https://osf.io/4pk3f/files/54h9m). Time out for the questionnaires was 60 minutes. The end of day questionnaire was sent out every day between 8:00 and 8:05 pm (early schedule) or between 9:30 and 9:35 pm (late schedule), respectively. Participants were instructed to complete this questionnaire at any point between receiving the questionnaire and going to bed. Time out for the questionnaires was 8 hours.

Type of sample:
207 Young adults (166 female, 32 male, 8 non-binary, 1 person without information on gender provided) aged 16 to 30 years who owned an Internet-enabled smartphone living in Germany (Mean age = 22.72, SD = 3.1).
Recruitment information:
Participants were recruited via university mailing lists, flyers on university boards, and via Instagram. Inclusion criteria were (a) owning an Internet-enabled smartphone with Android or iOS operating system, (b) agreeing to install the Samply Research app on the smartphone for the duration of the study, and (c) age between 16 and 30 years.
