A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Young people aged 16–24 with clinically relevant insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index >10) are randomized to use different types of special blankets. Sleep outcomes are measured using the Insomnia Severity Index, objective actigraphy monitoring, and questionnaires on anxiety, stress, and daytime functioning. Key exclusions include neurological or diagnosed sleep disorders, circulatory or respiratory disease, pregnancy, shift work, recent prior special-blanket use, and insufficient Danish proficiency. The intervention is delivered at the Department of Psychology and Behavioural Sciences at Aarhus University and compared across blanket types over a defined follow-up period.
