NCT06501690 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out if parents and children 6-10 years old are willing and able to follow a protocol to be used to study the effects of short and/or variable sleep in children. During each of three, one-week long periods, parents will have their child follow one of the following bedtime schedules: 1) habitual bedtime; 2) 1 hour later bedtime; or 3) variable bedtime (+/- 1 hour of habitual bedtime each day). Children will wear a sleep tracker and parents will complete daily diaries. Participants will answer questions about their experiences completing the protocol.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06501690
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06501690 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 5 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Penn State University, which has 233 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Sleep appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Late bedtime is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06501690 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Pennsylvania. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
