The main purpose of this research study is to find the correlation between the Internet Addiction disorder and disturbances in the sleep cycle or associated sleep disorders particularly insomnia, among young adults. The sample size of 150 through random sampling is being selected. The Internet Addiction Inventory & Insomnia Severity Scale are tailor-made instruments, having sufficient reliability and validity. The correlation analysis indicates a strong positive relationship between the two variables. Higher Internet addiction is associated with higher sleep disturbances. The ANOVA results reinforced the model’s statistical significance. The statistical results were highly significant across all indicators, correlation, ANOVA, and regression coefficients, underscoring the reliability of the complete findings. The regression equation clearly showed that as internet addiction increases, the disturbances in sleep systematically accentuate with each incremental rise in internet dependency, measureably eroding health outcomes.

ABSTRACT

The main purpose of this research study is to find the correlation between the Internet Addiction disorder and disturbances in the sleep cycle or associated sleep disorders particularly insomnia, among young adults. The sample size of 150 through random sampling is being selected. The Internet Addiction Inventory & Insomnia Severity Scale are tailor-made instruments, having sufficient reliability and validity. The correlation analysis indicates a strong positive relationship between the two variables. Higher Internet addiction is associated with higher sleep disturbances. The ANOVA results reinforced the model’s statistical significance. The statistical results were highly significant across all indicators, correlation, ANOVA, and regression coefficients, underscoring the reliability of the complete findings. The regression equation clearly showed that as internet addiction increases, the disturbances in sleep systematically accentuate with each incremental rise in internet dependency, measureably eroding health outcomes.
