NCT ID NCT07411404
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study aims to see if it's practical to measure sleep in adults who play video games regularly but don't have gaming disorder. Forty participants (gamers and non-gamers) will keep sleep and gaming diaries, wear a wrist monitor, and provide urine samples for melatonin testing. The goal is to refine the research methods for a larger future study on how gaming affects sleep.
