Does Your Teen Have Trouble Sleeping?
The Department of Psychiatry at Stanford University is currently conducting a study to help teens go to bed earlier and wake up earlier. The treatment involves use of a light device that is placed by the child’s bedside and flashes periodically throughout the night.
Who can participate?
Teenagers ages 14-18 who:
- Are enrolled full-time in 9th-12th grades
- Have difficulty falling asleep and waking up in the morning
- Are not currently taking any medications for sleep
- Desire to go to bed at an earlier time
- Don’t sleep only in the prone (face-down) position
What is required?
- Two study visits
- Completing a sleep diary daily for one month
- Weekly brief telephone calls to check in
