Summary
This study tests a special type of melatonin (a natural sleep hormone) in 120 children and teens aged 2-17 with PTSD who have serious sleep issues like trouble falling asleep, waking up often, or nightmares. The goal is to see if this treatment improves sleep time and quality, and in turn helps their daytime mood and behavior. Participants will take the melatonin or a placebo for 13 weeks, and their sleep will be tracked with a diary.
