This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a treatment called TranS-C+BL—a combination of a sleep improvement program and bright light therapy—for teenagers who are struggling with depression and sleep difficulties. The study will compare two groups: one group receives the full treatment (sleep therapy sessions plus special glasses that use bright light in the morning and blue light blocking in the evening), while the other group receives only sleep tracking feedback. The goal is to see if this combined approach can reduce depression symptoms and improve sleep.
Many teenagers with depression also have serious sleep problems, and sleep difficulties can make depression worse. This trial exists to test whether targeting both sleep and daily light exposure together—using an approach designed to work across different mental health conditions—can be a more effective way to help young people recover.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Both groups will wear a special watch to track sleep and activity, and you'll keep a daily sleep diary. If you're in the full treatment group, you'll also attend 6–8 sessions with a sleep therapist and wear special glasses—bright light glasses in the morning and blue light blocking glasses in the evening—throughout the study. The study lasts several weeks, and you'll check in regularly to see how you're doing.
