Summary

This pilot study looks at whether it's possible to measure and improve sleep and body clock rhythms in 30 children aged 3 to 6 who are in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Researchers will use a watch-like device and saliva tests to track sleep patterns. They will also try giving children bright light during the day and only offering food during daytime hours to help reset their internal clocks.
