NCT ID NCT07420504
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether teaching parents a consistent, calming bedtime routine can improve sleep in infants and toddlers diagnosed with behavioral insomnia. Thirty children aged 0-3 years will wear a watch-like device to track sleep quality, and parents will report on sleep patterns and their child's self-regulation. The goal is to see if this non-drug approach can reduce night wakings and improve overall sleep.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, drug-free way to improve sleep and self-regulation in young children with behavioral insomnia.
