I'm Losing Sleep over You

Abstract

The prevalence of media and sleep deprivation have influenced researchers to investigate what is causing individuals to lose sleep. By administering self-report questionnaires, researchers gathered data to conclude how media usage and anxiety have impacted sleep in adults. Researchers expect male participants to frequently use media and have poorer sleep quality, poor sleepers to have more electronics in the bedroom, and anxiety to negatively impact sleep. This study provides evidence as to why sleep deprived individuals should disconnect from their digital worlds.
