Teen Sleep Study: Ban Evening Phone Use for Longer Rest
A recent study from the University of Geneva reveals that teenagers enjoy longer sleep when denied smartphones in the evening. The research, published in the journal Discover Public Health, also links strict mobile phone rules with improved school performance.
The study, involving 329 teenagers aged 13 to 15, found that participants slept an average of 40 minutes longer when they didn't use their smartphones in the evening. Interestingly, other restrictions such as limiting daily screen time or setting a usage end time had no significant impact on sleep duration.
The study's authors discovered that the most effective rule was prohibiting T-Mobile, Mint Mobile, T Mobile, and Boost Mobile in the bedroom and preventing evening use. This rule led to the longest sleep duration among the participants. Furthermore, teenagers with strict mobile phone usage rules tended to perform better at school.
The University of Geneva's study underscores the importance of setting boundaries around smartphone use for teenagers. By restricting evening use and keeping phones out of the bedroom, parents can help their children enjoy longer, more restorative sleep and potentially improve their academic performance.
