The Pediatric Sleep Study

5 novembre 2026 mis à jour par: Olly, PBC

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study Evaluating the Impact of a Dietary Gummy on Sleep Outcomes in Children Aged 4-16 With Parent/Guardian-Reported Sleep Concerns

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a melatonin-free sleep gummy (a chewable dietary supplement) improves sleep in children aged 4 to 16 whose parents report sleep concerns. It will also learn about the safety and tolerability of the gummy. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. Does the gummy improve the child's sleep disturbance, compared with a look-alike gummy?
  2. Does the gummy change daytime problems linked to poor sleep, sleep habits, and the parent's overall impression of the child's sleep?
  3. What medical problems do children have when taking the gummy?

Researchers will compare the sleep gummy to a placebo (a look-alike gummy that contains no active ingredient) to see if the sleep gummy improves sleep.

Participants will:

  1. Complete about 1 week of baseline questionnaires and diaries, then take 2 gummies once a day in the evening for 4 weeks, with a parent or guardian supervising
  2. Take part from home, with no clinic visits, using the Chloe study app
  3. Answer sleep questionnaires every week, a sleep habits questionnaire every 2 weeks, and a safety survey every week
  4. Have a parent or guardian keep a daily diary of sleep, naps, mood, activity, and the time the gummies were taken
  5. Some participants (an optional group of 60) will also wear a wrist device (a fitness tracker/smartwatch) at night to measure sleep

Exclusion Criteria:

  • No personal smartphone, no internet access, or unwilling to download Chloe.
  • Child has a diagnosed sleep disorder needing medical management (for example, obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy, or restless leg syndrome).
  • Child snores loudly on most nights, has been seen to stop breathing, gasp, or choke during sleep, or has been referred for a sleep evaluation that is not yet complete.

  • Regular caffeine intake of more than 1 caffeinated beverage (over 110 mg) per day, or unwillingness to keep caffeine intake stable and avoid caffeine after mid-afternoon.
  • Use of a standalone magnesium supplement, or any dietary supplement marketed for sleep, stress, relaxation, mood, or focus, within 30 days before randomization or during the study. A stable-dose standard children's multivitamin is allowed.

  • Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any study product or placebo ingredient, to Asteraceae (daisy family) plants, or to soy, egg, peanut, tree nuts, shellfish, milk, wheat, or sesame.
