“…The prevalence of video gaming, of use of Internet, of social networking, and of mobile phone texting was slightly lower than in our preadolescents, probably because of the age difference. 41 In a recent paper by Arora and colleagues 42 that used the same sleep questionnaire as our study (School Sleep Habits Survey) in 738 preadolescents (11-13 years of age), it was not specified if the use of technology was performed after 21:00 Table 5-Hierarchical regression analysis with the Sleep-Wake Problems Behavior Scale as the dependent variable.…”

“…5,39,43 Mobile phone use has been associated with shorter sleep duration, 42,44 whereas mobile phone use for calling and for sending text messages after lights out was associated with sleep disturbance. 5,6,43 The interesting finding of our study, although cross-sectional and not longitudinal, is that the increase of media use appears to be related to the passage from preadolescence to adolescence.…”

Study Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze differences between preadolescents and adolescents on the use of technology and to test the contribution of using Internet and mobile phone, and circadian preference on sleep quality. Methods: We recruited a sample of 850 (364 males) preadolescents and adolescents. Self-report questionnaires about sleep schedule, sleep wake behavior problems, circadian preferences, and the use of technology (e.g., Internet and mobile phone) were administered. Students were asked to fi ll out the School Sleep Habits Survey, a self-report questionnaire on the use of technology, the Mobile Phone Involvement Questionnaire (MPIQ), and the Shorter Promis Questionnaire (SPQ). Results: Adolescents reported more sleep problems, a tendency toward eveningness, and an increase of Internet and phone activities, as well as social network activities, while preadolescents were more involved in gaming console and television viewing. The regression analysis performed separately in the two age groups showed that sleep quality was affected by the circadian preference (eveningness) in both groups. Adolescents' bad sleep quality was consistently associated with the mobile phone use and number of devices in the bedroom, while in preadolescents, with Internet use and turning-off time.

“…There is converging evidence showing media use to be negatively associated with teens' sleep functioning, including shorter sleep duration and delayed sleep onset in particular (see Bartel et al 2014;Hale and Guan 2014, for reviews). In a cross-sectional study of 738 young adolescents (ages 11-13) in the United Kingdom, technology use was associated with shorter sleep duration and difficulty falling asleep (Arora et al 2014). Similarly, television and computer/Internet use was associated with poorer sleep in an epidemiological study of 1,221 adolescents in South China (Zhou et al 2012).…”

Sleep problems in adolescence have been identified as an international public health issue. Over the past few decades, notable advances have been made in our understanding of the patterns and consequences of sleep in adolescence. Despite these important gains, there is much about the role of sleep in adolescence that remains to be understood. This Special Issue brings together studies that examine sleep as it specifically pertains to adolescent development and adjustment. In this introductory article, we argue for the importance of grounding the study of sleep and adolescence in developmental science and a developmental psychopathology framework. First, a review of the literature is used to outline a biopsychosocial and contextual model of sleep in adolescence. Second, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is used as an exemplar of the proposed model given the pervasiveness of sleep problems among youth with ADHD and the likelihood that sleep problems and ADHD symptoms are interconnected in complex ways. Finally, a brief introduction to the empirical articles included in the Special Issue is provided, with particular attention given to how these articles fit within the proposed biopsychosocial and contextual model. Along with the framework proposed in this article, the studies included in this Special Issue advance the current literature and point to critical directions for future research.

“…93 Associations between media and sleep are seen in infants as well; 6-to 12-month-olds who were exposed to screen media in the evening hours showed significantly shorter nighttime sleep duration than those who had no evening screen exposure. 94 Studies of older children and teenagers have found that participants with higher social media use 95 or who sleep with mobile devices in their room 96,97 were at greater risk for sleep disturbances. One study of adults found that taking a phone into the bedroom led to longer sleep latency, worse sleep quality, more sleep disturbance, and more daytime dysfunction.…”

Today's children and adolescents are immersed in both traditional and new forms of digital media. Research on traditional media, such as television, has identifi ed health concerns and negative outcomes that correlate with the duration and content of viewing. Over the past decade, the use of digital media, including interactive and social media, has grown, and research evidence suggests that these newer media offer both benefi ts and risks to the health of children and teenagers. Evidence-based benefi ts identifi ed from the use of digital and social media include early learning, exposure to new ideas and knowledge, increased opportunities for social contact and support, and new opportunities to access health promotion messages and information. Risks of such media include negative health effects on sleep, attention, and learning; a higher incidence of obesity and depression; exposure to inaccurate, inappropriate, or unsafe content and contacts; and compromised privacy and confi dentiality. This technical report reviews the literature regarding these opportunities and risks, framed around clinical questions, for children from birth to adulthood. To promote health and wellness in children and adolescents, it is important to maintain adequate physical activity, healthy nutrition, good sleep hygiene, and a nurturing social environment. A healthy Family Media Use Plan (www. healthychildren. org/ MediaUsePlan) that is individualized for a specifi c child, teenager, or family can identify an appropriate balance between screen time/online time and other activities, set boundaries for accessing content, guide displays of personal information, encourage age-appropriate critical thinking and digital literacy, and support open family communication and implementation of consistent rules about media use.
