Greater use of social media was associated with shorter sleep duration in students aged 11-20

The association between using social media and sleep duration was examined among 5242 Canadian students aged 11-20. Overall, 63.6% of the individuals slept less than recommended, with 73.4% of students reporting that they used social media for at least one hour per day. The authors reported that greater use of social media was associated with shorter sleep duration in a dose–response fashion among the students.
