Paid Sleep Studies at Stanford for Teens and Pregnant Women!

The Department of Psychiatry at Stanford University has several studies related to sleep in teens and pregnant women that may be of interest:

** We are currently conducting a study to help teens (14-18) in 9th-12th grades go to bed earlier and wake up earlier. The treatment involves use of a light device that is placed by the child's bedside and flashes periodically throughout the night. Teens also meet for four sessions with a licensed psychologist at Stanford University to learn about sleep and strategies to improve sleep. The paid study requires completing a sleep diary daily for five weeks. Teens will be compensated $50 plus up to $20 in Amazon gift certificates, as well as receiving the treatment at no cost. Please contact teensleep@stanford.edu or (650) 725-7767 for more details.

** Healthy women (18-40 years old) currently pregnant with their first child are needed for a research study at Stanford University to understand the development of a baby’s sleep-wake schedule. Participation involves you and your baby wearing a special wristwatch used to track sleep for 6 weeks at home after birth. You will also complete daily sleep and feedings diaries during this time. Compensation is up to $350. For more information please contact us at: momsleepstudy@stanford.edu. For participant’s rights questions, contact 1-866-680-2906.
