Do near-bedtime usage of smartphones and problematic internet usage really impact sleep? A study based on objectively recorded usage data by Aftab Alam (5158601)

“…</p><h3> Results</h3><p dir="ltr">The multivariate linear regression showed that the increase in PIU (β = −0.231, p < 0.001) and smartphone usage two hours before sleep (β = −0.246, p < 0.001) led to decrease in sleep duration. Regarding sleep distraction, multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that two hours before sleep was a significant and positive predictor of sleep distraction (β = 0.197, p = 0.003), whereas PIU was not significant. …”
