One last message on Snapchat, one last video on TikTok, one last thread on Reddit... For many teenagers, social media isn't just occupying their free time, it's also eating away at their hours of sleep. According to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center, 45% of 13- to 17-year-olds claim that their use of social networking sites interferes with the amount of sleep they get.
Whether it's the compulsive checking of news feeds, the anxious wait for a reply to a message or the temptation to watch "just one more video”, these habits have become almost commonplace, but they seriously disrupt biological rhythms. As a result, many teenagers find their sleep delayed, interrupted or even cut short. And they're increasingly aware of it.
