“…Previous research has also established that computer screen lights can have negative effect on circadian rhythm and lead to sleep phase delay [Petit et al 2016]. Similarly, IA plays an important role in daytime sleepiness and sleeping disorders [Ferreira et al 2017] and fatigue [Lin et al 2013]. Other study has also reported that IA has negative impacts on sleep including sleep deprivation and fatigue [Bener et al 2016].…”

Aim:The aim of the present study was to examine the association between Internet Addiction (IA), fatigue, and sleep problems among university students.Methods: A total of 3,000 Turkish students aged 18 to 25 years were approached and 2,350 students (78.3%) participated in this cross-sectional study from April 2017 to September 2017 in public and private universities in Istanbul. Data were collected via a structured questionnaire including socio-demographic details, lifestyle and dietary habits, Internet Addiction Test (IAT), Fatigue Scale, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale [ESS]. Descriptive statistics, multivariate and factorial analyses were performed. Results:The overall prevalence of IA among the studied population was 17.7%. There were significant differences between gender, family income, father's occupation, school performance, frequency and duration of watching television, physical activity, internet use duration, and sleep duration (all p<0.001). Significant differences were also found between participants with IA and those without IA in having headaches, blurred vision, double vision, hurting eyes, hearing problems, and eating fast food frequently (all p<0.001). Using multivariate regression analysis, the duration of internet use, physical and mental symptoms, headache, hurting eyes, tired eyes, hearing problems and ESS scores were significantly associated with (and primary predictors of) IA. Conclusion:The present study demonstrated that IA was associated with poor dietary habits, sleep problems, and fatigue symptoms.

“…Compulsive internet behavior has been considered as one of the most relevant dimensions of internet addiction (Lortie and Guitton, 2013), with past studies using both internet addiction and compulsive Internet use to refer to the same phenomenon (Lin et al, 2013). Previous research has demonstrated that addiction can be generated not only to internet usage, in general, but also towards specific SNS sites, with compulsion being one of its underlying components (De Cock et al, 2014;Kang et al, 2013).…”

Purpose Today’s society interest in mobile photography drives consumers’ and brands’ growing usage of Instagram. This paper aims to address the consequences of excessive use of Instagram on the negative feeling of losing information when not connected and the emotional fatigue resulting from an overcharge with new information. The mediating role of addiction between Instagram overuse and the two outcomes is also analyzed. Design/methodology/approach Data from 342 active Instagram users were used to test the proposed model, applying the partial least square equation modeling method (SmartPLS 3). Findings Addiction partially mediates the impact of overuse on emotional fatigue and instastress. Addiction to Instagram was mainly due to respondents’ lack of control over the time spent on it resulting in incapability to reduce its usage. Social implications Social networking site managers, educators, families and public institutions should promote an adequate use of Instagram, making users (especially the young) aware of the potential threats of its excessive usage. The control on the amount of time devoted to Instagram is a key factor for detaining overuse and addiction, as well as avoiding the negative outcomes analyzed in this research. Originality/value The findings contribute to the extant knowledge on the negative side of the digitization of the individual, as little is known about it to the best of the authors’ knowledge.

“…The notion of an IAD is based on observations that some individuals display signs of problematic internetrelated behaviors similar to those observed for other behavioral addictions, such as gambling (Block, 2008;Young, 1998). In particular, excessive use of the internet has been shown to produce severe disruption to the affected individual's everyday functioning, especially in terms of their social and work commitment (Bozoglan, Demirer, & Sahin, 2013;Lin, Tsai, Chen, Koo, 2013;Shaw & Black, 2008).…”

This study investigated internet addiction across the broad autism phenotype, and assessed the degree to which internet addiction in individuals with higher autism quotient scores may be mediated by co-morbid depression and anxiety. Ninety participants were given a range of psychometric assessments to determine their level of problematic internet usage (Internet Addiction Test), autism traits (Autism Quotient Scale), depression (Beck Depression Inventory), and anxiety (Speilberger Trait Anxiety Scale). Significant associations were found between both autism, and anxiety, and internet addiction. However, the association between autism traits and internet addiction was moderated by high level for anxiety, such that individuals with high numbers of autism traits showed less evidence of internet addiction if they also displayed high levels of anxiety. It is suggested that the presence of anxiety in these individuals alters the function that internet behavior serves, and makes internet addiction less likely.
