Researchers want to know if smartwatches and other wearable devices can accurately track sleep stages in children and teenagers. The study will compare these new wearables — which include a headband that measures brain activity, a movement tracker, and a ring that monitors oxygen levels — against the gold-standard sleep test (called polysomnography) to see if they work just as well.
Standard sleep testing requires children to spend a night in a sleep lab with many uncomfortable wires and sensors attached. This trial exists to find out whether simpler, more comfortable wearable devices could do the same job, making it easier for children with sleep problems to get diagnosed and treated.

Your child will wear three small devices overnight during a standard sleep test: a headband that measures brain waves, a watch-like device that tracks movement, and a ring that monitors oxygen levels. Researchers will compare how well these wearables track sleep compared to the traditional sleep test happening at the same time. The study is designed to show whether these simpler, more comfortable devices could replace the standard test in the future.
