Biphasic sleep in 9-month-old infants
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how infants sleep in two different patterns (biphasic sleep) and how that relates to their development. If your child is 9 months old and healthy, researchers will track their sleep and development over the next 6 months.
