Would the study be a good fit for me?
This study might be a good fit for you if:

What would happen if I took part in the study?
If you and your child decide to take part in the search
study:
 You and your child would come for an overnight sleep
study in the Sleep Laboratory in the School of Nursing at
the University of Washington

performance and play games on a computer

We will pay for your parking. Children and their parents who
