Read our Post Traumatic Stress Disorder research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers are testing whether a wearable sleep device called SmartSleep can help teenagers with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by enhancing their deepest sleep. The study explores how better sleep might help the brain process difficult emotions and reduce daily distress. Participants will wear the device at home and also complete sleep monitoring in a research lab.
Many teenagers with PTSD struggle with poor sleep and difficulty managing emotions. This trial investigates whether improving sleep quality through the wearable device can help the brain heal from trauma and reduce emotional overwhelm.

You would visit the research lab for an overnight sleep study where researchers use advanced brain sensors to monitor your sleep before and after an emotion-processing task. Then you would take home the SmartSleep headband to wear during sleep for about two weeks—some nights with the device actively enhancing your deep sleep, and other nights with the device in a comparison mode. You would also complete surveys and check-ins with the research team throughout the study.
