""The study tracked activities such as social media use, watching TV and movies, gaming, listening to music or podcasts, and reading, showing each hour of screen time raised insomnia risk by 59%.""
""Sivertsen noted that while previous research suggested social media was particularly disruptive, this study finds that all screen time has similar negative effects.""
A new Norwegian study suggests that screen time, specifically one hour at bedtime, significantly increases the risk of insomnia by 59% and reduces sleep duration by 24 minutes. The study, involving over 45,000 young adults, concluded that different screen activities, including social media, TV, and gaming, have equal disruptive effects on sleep quality. Despite concerns over blue light, researchers stress that overall bright light exposure before bed negatively impacts sleep. Notably, only 35% of Americans achieve the recommended eight hours of sleep, highlighting a broader concern about sleep deprivation.
