What this Trial Is About
The primary objective of the SLEEPLAY study is to assess the feasibility of a research protocol investigating the impact of video games on sleep in adults. More specifically, this study aims to identify potential barriers, facilitators of participation, and participant adherence to various measurement tools (such as actigraphy and melatonin assays) to validate the protocol for a larger future study. Additionally, it seeks to optimize the recruitment of regular adult gamers and determine the conditions that will enable better collection of objective sleep data. The relevance of this feasibility study lies in its ability to test and refine the methodology, thereby facilitating future research while minimizing costs and implementation time.
