What is the purpose of this trial?

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a melatonin-free sleep gummy (a chewable dietary supplement) improves sleep in children aged 4 to 16 whose parents report sleep concerns. It will also learn about the safety and tolerability of the gummy. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does the gummy improve the child's sleep disturbance, compared with a look-alike gummy?

2. Does the gummy change daytime problems linked to poor sleep, sleep habits, and the parent's overall impression of the child's sleep?

3. What medical problems do children have when taking the gummy?

Researchers will compare the sleep gummy to a placebo (a look-alike gummy that contains no active ingredient) to see if the sleep gummy improves sleep.

Participants will:

1. Complete about 1 week of baseline questionnaires and diaries, then take 2 gummies once a day in the evening for 4 weeks, with a parent or guardian supervising

2. Take part from home, with no clinic visits, using the Chloe study app

3. Answer sleep questionnaires every week, a sleep habits questionnaire every 2 weeks, and a safety survey every week

4. Have a parent or guardian keep a daily diary of sleep, naps, mood, activity, and the time the gummies were taken

5. Some participants (an optional group of 60) will also wear a wrist device (a fitness tracker/smartwatch) at night to measure sleep
