GENEVA: Teenagers whose parents ban smartphones in the evenings and do not allow phones in bedrooms overnight sleep longer and even perform better in school, according to a Swiss study.
On average, teenagers slept 40 minutes more than their peers whose smartphone use was not restricted, the researchers reported in the journal Discover Public Health in September.
