Description

This study explored the impact of technology use on sleep disturbances in college students. All participants reported using technology within 30 minutes before going to bed. Significant correlations were observed supporting the hypothesis technology is associated with sleep disturbances in college students. There were numerous technology-related behaviors associated with specific aspects of sleep disturbance, but no single behavior affected all aspects of sleep. The correlations observed were small, explaining about 10% of sleep difficulties, but suggest that technology use can alter one’s sleep in a meaningful way.
