Can a good Night's sleep ease teen anxiety?
NCT ID NCT03643848
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how sleep influences the way children aged 10-13 remember and generalize negative experiences, which may be linked to anxiety. Researchers will use sound cues during sleep to see if they can change memory patterns. The goal is to better understand the connection between sleep and anxiety, not to test a new treatment.
