ABSTRACT
In the wake of the transformative post-pandemic landscape, this study endeavours to unravel on the intricate web of relationships that shape the lives of post-graduate students at Kuvempu University. Titled “Unveiling Connections,” this research employs a comprehensive correlational framework to delve into the interplay between smartphone addictions and sleep pattern among the students. The backdrop of the post-pandemic era has witnessed unprecedented shifts in academic, social, and technological realms. Against this evolving canvas, the study examines the symbiotic interactions between smartphone addiction and sleep quality – two dimensions crucial to the holistic well-being and academic pursuits of post-graduate students. By dissecting the intricate threads that link excessive smartphone usage and sleep patterns, the research strives to uncover potential associations, dependencies, and implications. By harnessing data from post-graduate students at Kuvempu University, this study seeks to discern the patterns that emerge in the aftermath of global disruptions. Through a meticulous analysis of quantitative data, the study endeavours to illuminate how smartphone addiction might influence sleep quality, and vice versa, within the context of a changing world. Additionally, the study acknowledges the potential role of the post-pandemic environment in shaping these interactions, potentially magnifying or mitigating their impact. The insights gleaned from this research are expected to contribute to a nuanced understanding of the evolving landscape of post-graduate education in the face of technological advancements and societal transitions. It is anticipated that the findings will not only enrich academic discourse but also inform practical interventions aimed at promoting healthier technological habits and fostering improved sleep quality among post-graduate students. As the education sector grapples with new challenges and opportunities, “Unveiling Connections” aspires to provide a vantage point from which to understand the multifaceted dynamics at play. By recognizing the intricate interplay between smartphone addiction and sleep quality, the study lays the foundation for holistic approaches that prioritize student well-being in the ever-evolving post-pandemic setting.
