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.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could point toward new ways to treat anxiety by targeting sleep-related memory processes.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage observational study with only 58 participants. It does not test a treatment, so results may not lead to direct therapies.
