A study published in Frontiers in Psychiatry reveals that screen time in bed notably worsens sleep quality, particularly among young adults. Analyzing data from over 45,000 individuals aged 18-28, researchers found that even one hour of screen use before sleep increased insomnia risk by 59% and reduced sleep duration by an average of 24 minutes. Regardless of content type—whether social media, gaming, or watching shows—the overall time spent using screens is the primary factor impacting sleep. Experts suggest that limiting screen time before bed can significantly improve sleep habits.
