The Sweet Dreams Study: Accuracy of Sleep Trackers in Children

This study, called "The Sweet Dreams Study," is looking at how accurate sleep trackers are for children between 2 and 17 years old. If your child is having a sleep study (polysomnography) at Arkansas Children's Hospital for issues like sleep apnea or snoring, they might be able to join. The study will compare the sleep data from wearable trackers to the results of the hospital's sleep test, which is considered the most accurate way to measure sleep. The goal is to see how well these trackers work for kids. The study is currently recruiting 300 participants.

Study design
This is an observational study involving 300 children. It compares data from sleep trackers to standard sleep test results.
What's involved
You will meet the research team before your child's sleep test, provide a stool sample, answer questions about your child's health and home, and your child will have a brief physical exam. Your child will wear four sleep trackers during their sleep test.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary sleep measurements are taken up to 10 days after consent.
