Abstract in brief
The Peoples Trial was an online study designed to help people understand how randomized trials work by investigating whether reading a book in bed affects sleep quality compared to not reading in bed.
The trial involved about 991 participants who were randomly assigned to either read a book in bed before sleep or not, over a week, and their sleep quality was measured.
Results showed that more people who read in bed reported improved sleep (42%) compared to those who did not (28%), with the study estimating that reading in bed could improve sleep for 8 to 22 more people out of 100.]
