Sleep program for delayed sleep timing with mental health symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study offers a sleep-focused program to people whose sleep schedule is significantly shifted later than desired (delayed sleep phase disorder) along with moderate to severe mental health symptoms. It aims to see if treatment for the sleep problem can help in people already getting psychiatric care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
