Delayed Sleep Phase clinical trials at UCSF
3 research studies open to eligible people
Delayed sleep phase is a sleep disorder where people fall asleep and wake up much later than usual. UCSF is exploring whether aligning circadian rhythms can enhance sleep. Another study is looking at whether Lemborexant can help people fall asleep more quickly. UCSF is also testing a mobile health intervention for better sleep and mental health in adolescents.
Better Sleep Study
open to eligible people ages 12-18
The overall aim of this proposal is a confirmatory efficacy trial sufficiently powered and designed to test the hypothesis that improving the relationship between biological circadian timing and waketime, a novel modifiable target, improves depression outcomes in a subgroup of adolescents with depression and a misaligned relationship between biological circadian timing and waketime utilizing a cognitive-behavioral sleep intervention.

Lemborexant in Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether Lemborexant is more effective than placebo in shortening sleep onset latency in patients with delayed sleep phase syndrome (both type 1 and type 2). This will be tracked using sleep logs as well as actigraphy. In this 2-year study, we will examine if Lemborexant administered 5-10 mg nightly taken at desired bedtime (at least 2 hours prior to self-reported sleep onset habitual time) can improve the symptoms of Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome.

The Reducing Risk Study
open to eligible people ages 12-18
The present study will test an innovative mobile health adaptation of a behavioral intervention that improves sleep and mental health concerns among adolescents.
