Nice idea. But I'm either being stupid or it's barfing - have completed all fields but getting an 'all fields required' error.

They did take objective measures, via polysomnography. It's one of the novel aspects of this study. Interesting that perceived difficulty getting to sleep after gaming was greater than that recorded via the polysomnography.

Yes blue light inhibits melatonin release, although to my knowledge there is still very little reliable research on in-situ, naturalistic use of devices on sleep.

Agreed that this is a small sample; however the use of both subjective and objective measures is a step forward.

I agree it is a small sample - although not uncommon for psychology studies.

I'm going to see if Dr Kyle (who wrote the post) can hop on here to give us his view.

Looks great! Lovely idea. What feedback have you got about pricing so far?

Thanks so much! Sounds fascinating - what's your service called? Would love to see how you've approached that challenge - I know for us it took a lot of iterations!

We decided 'Sleepio' way before .io domains were available!
