Light adjustment study for better sleep in children
This study tests whether adjusting a child's exposure to light during the day can help them fall asleep earlier at night. The goal is to help children who take a long time to fall asleep after their parents' desired bedtime.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
