A recent study reveals that viewing screens in bed raises the risk of insomnia by 59% in young people and adolescents.
Each additional hour of screen time in bed increases the risk of insomnia by 63% and reduces sleep duration by 24 minutes.
The research, based on over 45,000 students in Norway, found no direct relationship between social media and sleep disturbances.
While social media has the highest number of alerts on smartphones, engaging in other screen activities apart from social media led to the worst sleep outcomes.
