“…Light plays a primary role in synchronization of the human circadian system. The long-term night-time exposure to bright light in adolescence leads to inhibition of melatonin secretion and to a consequent delay in falling asleep [35]. In summary, some dysfunctional behaviors could be exacerbated by a biological predisposition and, in turn, produce a further deterioration in sleep quality.…”

“…Most studies showed the positive effects of delaying school start time initially on sleep patterns and secondly on daytime functioning. Therefore, just as the endemic sleep loss in adolescents triggers negative consequences through a "vicious cycle" [35], delaying rise times could, in turn, generate positive outcomes on sleep and lifestyle through a "virtuous cycle".…”

The crucial role of sleep in physical and mental health is well known, especially during the developmental period. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in examining the relationship between sleep patterns and school performance in adolescents. At this stage of life, several environmental and biological factors may affect both circadian and homeostatic regulation of sleep. A large part of this population does not experience adequate sleep, leading to chronic sleep restriction and/or disrupted sleep-wake cycles. Studies investigating the effects of different sleep-wake schedules on academic achievement showed that impaired sleep quality and quantity are associated with decreased learning ability and compromised daytime functioning. This review focuses on the most recent studies that evaluated the effects of modified school start time on sleep patterns and related outcomes. Moreover, based on the available empirical evidence, we intend to propose a direction for future studies targeted to implement prevention or treatment programs by modifying sleep timing.

“…Orben and Przybylski [15] demonstrate the positive influence sleep has on adolescent wellbeing is significantly larger that technology use alongside eating breakfast, fruit and vegetables. Within this context, it is frustrating to see such pathologizing language as that used around technology use in the literature where use of terms such as addiction and disorder immediately pathologizes all night-time online activity without acknowledging the diversity of cognitive factors behind engagement [16]. To link back to the previous effect size discussion, it would be an informative future research agenda to evaluate the impact of 10-min sleep onset delay compared with adolescents feeling excluded or anxious due to disengagement of continuing online interactions.…”

Purpose of Review Screens are a permanent feature of life today and we have reached an interesting juncture with different research agendas investigating the biological and cognitive aspects of screen use separately. This review argues that it is timely and indeed essential that we bring together these research areas to fully understand both positive and negative aspects of screen use.Recent Findings More recent work is starting to take a more cohesive approach to understanding how device use pre-bedtime can impact our sleep by including both light and content in their experimental protocols which is a welcome development leading to a more nuanced understanding of both biological and cognitive processes. Summary We call for an open and collaborative approach to gain momentum in this direction of acknowledging both biological and cognitive factors enabling us to understand the relative impacts of both whilst using screens with regard to both light and content.

“…Studies reported in the literature have revealed a relationship between depression, sleep problems, and the use of technology (Bartel & Gradisar, ; Lam, ; Mazzer, Bauducco, Linton, & Boersma, ; Mei, Zhou, Li, Jing, Wang, & Hu, ; Wolniczak, Cáceres‐DelAguila, Palma‐Ardiles, Arroyo, Solís‐Visscher, Paredes‐Yauri, et al, ). Others indicate an association of Internet use with a lower number of sleep hours and disturbed sleep rhythm (Canan, Yildirm, Sinani, Ozturk, Ustunel, & Ataoglu, ) as well as an association of excessive Facebook use with getting up and going to sleep later (Touitou, Touitou, & Reinberg, ). Some studies showed different relationships between social media use and sleep quality depending on what time of day a person uses the social media (Garett, Liu, & Young, ).…”

The main aim of the study was to examine the determinants of sleep problems including Facebook intrusion, depression, and future time perspective. The participants were 426 adolescents, aged M = 14.68. The Future Time Perspective Scale, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, the Facebook Intrusion Questionnaire, and the Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale were used. It was found that FTP goals were a negative predictor of Facebook intrusion and depression was a positive predictor of Facebook intrusion and sleep problems. Additionally, Facebook intrusion turned out to contribute positively to sleep problems. The results contribute to knowledge on excessive social media use and its relations with mental health; they can be applied in the treatment of addictive social media use.
