NCT ID NCT07659171
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether special light glasses could improve sleep, concentration, and mood in university students. 39 students with sleep problems wore the glasses for three weeks. The goal was to see if different light intensities made a difference. If successful, light therapy could be a simple, inexpensive way to help students feel better.
