NCT ID NCT07411404
First seen Feb 15, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 18 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.
