Between them in anxiety and depression.-There were statistically significant differences between low and high smartphone addiction in mindfulness and sleep quality toward lowers in smartphone addiction, but the differences found in both anxiety and depression toward highers in smartphone addiction.-There was a negative relation at the level of 0.01 between smartphone addiction and mindfulness, and a negative statistically significant relation at 0.001 level between smartphone addiction and sleep quality, and in contrast, a positive statistically significant relation was found at the 0.001 level between smartphone addiction and anxiety and depression.-Mindfulness contributes in moderating the relationship between smartphone addiction, anxiety, depression, and sleep quality among the sample.
