Study Summary

This trial is investigating whether or not a commercially available EMF-blocking blanket called Sleepgift can help improve sleep quality and well-being in adults. The study will be conducted as a placebo-controlled, single-blind cross-over study, meaning that participants will use the Sleepgift blanket for 10 days and then a regular blanket for 10 days, and they will not know which is which. Data on sleep quality and vital signals will be collected and analyzed to see if there is a significant difference between the two.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged between 18 and 70 who are generally healthy, both mentally and physically, can join this study. They must be fluent in English but not currently using regular painkillers, sleeping pills or depression medication. Those with substance abuse issues or participating in another therapeutic study cannot take part.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the Sleepgift blanket's ability to block EMF and improve sleep quality and heart health against a sham (fake) blanket. Participants will use each blanket for a period of time without knowing which one is real in a cross-over design with a one-month break in between.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive interventions like blankets, there aren't any direct side effects expected from the product itself. However, monitoring during sleep will occur to ensure participant safety.

PatientReceived 1 prior treatment
I have tried 3 sleep medications, meditation and camomile tea . I still don’t fall asleep or stay asleep very well.
PatientReceived 2+ prior treatments
The joy of being almost 50! I used to be a great sleeper. Now? Not so much. I have a tough time falling asleep and staying asleep. Sleep medications make me groggy in the morning, so I'm looking for alternative methods to help me get my sleep back on track.
PatientReceived no prior treatments
