The main goal of this study is to evaluate the "SIESTA" intervention, a culturally and contextually tailored sleep hygiene intervention that has the potential to exert greater improvements in sleep hygiene and sleep outcomes for group that may be more vulnerable to poor sleep health. The main question is: do SIESTA participants have improved sleep outcomes, sleep hygiene behaviors and less sleep-related impairment compared to Control Group participants? Participants randomized to the SIESTA intervention will: 1. Attend 4 remotely administered group sleep hygiene education sessions 2. Complete along with a parent/guardian, two individualized sessions administered by a SIESTA intervention facilitator 3. Complete study survey at baseline, end of treatment, and at 4, 8 and 12 months post-intervention. 4. Wear electronic sleep watches (actigraphy) throughout the protocol to objectively measure sleep duration and quality. Participants randomized to the Child Health Control condition will: 1. Attend 4 remotely administered group sessions covering general health topics 2. Complete along with a parent/guardian, two individualized sessions administered by a SIESTA intervention facilitator 3. Complete study survey at baseline, end of treatment, and at 4, 8 and 12 months post-intervention. 4. Wear electronic sleep watches (actigraphy) throughout the protocol to objectively measure sleep duration and quality. A secondary goal of the study is to conduct a process evaluation to prepare for future larger scale use of the intervention in other urban school settings. This will entail assessing Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) of the program through several methods, such as by conducting in-depth interviews with research participants and their parents/guardians, as well as school staff and by looking at rates of participation in the program.

Sleep Duration
Timeframe: Sleep duration will be assessed for 1-2 weeks at baseline, immediately after the intervention ("end of treatment") and at follow ups at 4, 8, and 12 months post intervention/control.
Sleep Efficiency/Quality
Timeframe: Sleep efficiency will be assessed for 1-2 weeks at baseline, end of treatment and at each 4, 8, and 12 months post intervention/control.
