Eye test may unlock secrets of delayed sleep disorder

NCT ID NCT06949644

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how the pupils of people with Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder react to light. Researchers want to see if there are differences in light sensitivity and whether a single dose of citalopram (a serotonin-boosting drug) can increase melatonin suppression during bright light exposure. About 220 adults with the disorder will participate, first at home and then in a lab for eye tests and light exposure sessions.
