NCT ID NCT06970392
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a simple sleep intervention for children ages 3-7 who resist going to bed. The approach includes a 'Bedtime Pass' that kids can trade for one trip out of the bedroom, plus basic sleep tips. Researchers want to see if pediatricians can deliver this during regular checkups and if parents find it helpful. The study involves 40 families and focuses on whether the method is practical and acceptable.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Bedtime Pass (behavioral intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a simple, low-cost tool for pediatricians to help families manage bedtime struggles without intensive therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 40 participants and no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention may not work for all children or families.
