Light flashes for delayed sleep phase disorder
This trial tests whether timed light flashes can help people whose sleep schedule is consistently delayed (they fall asleep and wake up much later than desired). If you’re still in high school and your main issue is this delayed sleep pattern, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are in full-time high school
- Your main sleep problem matches delayed sleep phase disorder (you naturally fall asleep and wake up late)
- You do not sleep only in the prone (on your stomach) position
