Self-Acupressure for Social Jet Lag in Female Students
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a daily self-acupressure routine (gently pressing on specific points on your body) can help reduce social jet lag—the mismatch between your sleep schedule on school days versus free days—in female health-science students. It involves a 12-week home practice and tracking your sleep quality.
