Screen Time in Bed Disrupts Adolescents' Sleep, Study Finds

New research reveals that device use in bed significantly delays sleep onset and reduces sleep duration among teenagers.

University of Otago study tracked 85 adolescents' screen use and sleep habits over a week.
Findings show screen time in the two hours before bed has little impact on sleep quality.
Device use in bed delays sleep onset by about half an hour and decreases total sleep time.
Interactive activities like gaming and multitasking worsen sleep disruption.
Researchers suggest revising sleep guidelines to reflect modern screen use habits.
