The Pediatric Sleep Study
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:
- Does the gummy improve the child's sleep disturbance, compared with a look-alike gummy?
- Does the gummy change daytime problems linked to poor sleep, sleep habits, and the parent's overall impression of the child's sleep?
- 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:
- 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
- Take part from home, with no clinic visits, using the Chloe study app
- Answer sleep questionnaires every week, a sleep habits questionnaire every 2 weeks, and a safety survey every week
- Have a parent or guardian keep a daily diary of sleep, naps, mood, activity, and the time the gummies were taken
- Some participants (an optional group of 60) will also wear a wrist device (a fitness tracker/smartwatch) at night to measure sleep
