NCT ID NCT06963736
First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study tests whether easy home-based strategies—like wearing blue-light blocking glasses, standing for 10 minutes each hour, and not eating after 8pm—can reduce the negative health effects of evening screen time. Researchers will track 30 adults with obesity or prediabetes who spend at least 3 hours on screens after 5pm. The goal is to see if these habits are acceptable and can improve blood sugar control and reduce sedentary time.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Blue light blocking glasses, standing breaks, and early eating cutoff
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward easy, home-based habits to lower blood sugar and heart disease risk from too much screen time.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 30 people, so results may not apply widely. The strategies are simple but may be hard to stick with long-term.
