“…Regarding the predictors of nighttime social media use, in the last decade, extensive research on Fear of missing out (FoMO), a cognitive predictor for nighttime social media use (Woods & Scott, 2016), has emerged. FoMO, common in university students and young adults (Tanhan, Özok & Tayiz, 2022), is defined by Przybylski, Murayama, DeHaan and Gladwell (2013, p. 1841) as “a pervasive apprehension that others might be having rewarding experiences from which one is absent.” FoMO has been associated with depression, anxiety (e.g., Elhai, Yang & Montag, 2021; Tanhan et al ., 2022), lower levels of physical and mental well‐being (e.g., Tandon, Kaur, Dhir & Mäntymäki, 2020), and problematic sleep (e.g., Tandon et al ., 2021). So far, research regarding the association between FoMO, social media and poor sleep has concluded that individuals spend more time on social media (at night) to avoid experiencing FoMO and satisfy psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness (i.e., Self‐ determination theory [SDT]), thus negatively affecting sleep (Beyens, Frison & Eggermont, 2016; Chen, Chang, Huang, Hsu, Lin & Kuo, 2022; Przybylski et al ., 2013; Tandon et al ., 2020; Tanhan et al ., 2022).…”
