How night phone use and cyberbullying affect sleep and wellbeing
It’s no secret that phone use, along with other screens, has become prolific — especially among young people. But what happens when screen time extends into the night?
In collaboration with our partners at the Behaviour-Brain-Body Research Centre, University of South Australia, we've just published a new study exploring nighttime phone use and its impact on sleep and wellbeing.
This peer-reviewed article examines the effects of nighttime phone use on the sleep and wellbeing of Australian children aged from 7 to 19 years. It also considers past exposure to cyberbullying and the impact this can have.
