Summary

This study tests a wearable headband that uses mild electrical stimulation to the front of the brain to help people with insomnia fall asleep faster and wake up less during the night. About 78 adults with sleep-onset insomnia will use the device at home and track their sleep with a FitBit. The goal is to see if this non-drug approach improves sleep quality and daytime well-being.
