NCT ID NCT07677930
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a digital program that combines cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia with circadian rhythm coaching can prevent depressive symptoms from worsening in college students aged 18-24 who have trouble falling asleep and tend to be night owls. Participants receive either the combined program, insomnia therapy alone, or health education. The goal is to see if improving sleep and daily routines can protect mental health.
