Exploring the Interplay Between Screen Time, Sleep Quality, and Anxiety in Young Adults

The study aims to investigate the relationship between Screen Time and sleep quality, anxiety in young adults aged 18-25. My study addresses the research by examining anxiety’s influence on the relationship between Screen Time and sleep quality, thereby providing a more comprehensive understanding of these interactions. The generality of Screen Time among 18–25-year-olds have highlighted concerns in recent years regarding its potential impact on sleep quality.169 adults aged between 18 to 25 selected from a variety of backgrounds make up the study sample, providing a varied coverage. Self-reported questionnaires on Screen Time, anxiety, quality of sleep questionnaires are completed by the participants. In order to investigate the associations between these variables and to prove the hypothesis that anxiety significantly mediates the impact of Internet time and sleep quality, correlational analysis was used. Increased anxiety is correlated with increased Screen Time, and this has a detrimental effect on the sleep quality. These results demonstrate the crucial role that anxiety plays in the dynamic among these two variables, and they imply that treatments targeted at lowering anxiety may lessen the negative impact of Screen Time on quality of sleep. In summary, this study highlights the significance of treating anxiety in attempts to enhance the quality of sleep for young adults who spend a lot of time on screen.
