Baby sleep study: does loose joints mean less rest?

NCT ID NCT07121179

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at whether infants aged 6 to 9 months with joint hypermobility (very flexible joints) have different sleep patterns than other babies. Researchers used a parent questionnaire to compare sleep duration, night wakings, and sleep problems between 60 infants with and without the condition. The goal is to see if joint hypermobility is linked to sleep issues in early life.
