“…To date, although a few studies have examined internet use and smartphone use in adolescents, middle and high school students (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22), few studies examined the smartphone use pattern and PMPU among university students in China during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, no studies have examined the association between PMPU and life satisfaction using standard structured instruments.…”

ObjectiveThis study examined problematic mobile phone use (PMPU) and its relationship with life satisfaction in Chinese university students during the pandemic.MethodsAn anonymous online survey was conducted in a university in China. The Mobile Phone Addiction Index (MPAI) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) were used to assess the severity of problematic mobile phone use and life satisfaction, respectively. Data on demographic and health-related factors were also collected.ResultsA total of 1,491 undergraduate students (73.3% were male) completed the survey. On average, students in the survey reported spending 7.4 ± 4.3 h/day on phone use. Their MPAI score was 38.1 ± 13.3 and SWLS score was 24.9 ± 6.8, respectively. After controlling for confounding factors, the MPAI score was significantly associated with lower life satisfaction. Multiple linear regression revealed that higher monthly allowances, frequent insomnia, longer phone use duration were significantly associated with PMPU.ConclusionUniversity students in China spend nearly half of their waking hours on mobile phone use, significantly longer than before the COVID-19 pandemic. PMPU is associated with insomnia, lower life satisfaction and higher allowances. If the trend continues after the pandemic, interventions may be needed. Increase in-person interactions, limiting online social and gaming time, awareness campaign may be effective in reducing the impact of PMPU and improve life satisfaction.

“…Studies have shown that depression, anxiety and impulsive are common comorbid diseases of PIU ( 53 , 54 ). Simultaneously, previous studies have reported that excessive time spent online can reduce the required night sleep with internet addiction patients, furthermore leading to sleep disorders ( 55 , 56 ). Our previous research also found that PIU individuals had higher SDS, SAS and BIS-11 scores, and more poor sleep quality compared with individuals without PIU ( 33 ).…”

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to observe the efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA) and psychotherapy (PT) effect on the mental status, sleep quality and impulsive trait in patients with pathological internet use, and to observe the changes of Monoamine oxidase type A (MAOA) messenger Ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels in each group.MethodsA total of 60 PIU patients were included for the present study. These patients were randomly divided into two groups: EA group and PT group. Baihui, Sishencong, Hegu, Neiguan, Shenmen, Taichong, Sanyinjiao and Xuanzhong were selected for acupuncture in the EA group, while group psychotherapy combined with individual psychotherapy was used for intervention in patients in the PT group. Young’s Internet addiction Test (IAT), Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Barratt Impulse Scale (BIS-11) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to observe the severity of Internet addiction, mental status, sleep quality and impulsive trait of all patients at baseline and 40th days of treatment; and MAOA mRNA data were collected at baseline and 40th days of treatment.ResultsElectroacupuncture and psychological intervention effectively reduced IAT, SAS, SDS, Y-BOCS, BIS and PSQI scores of PIU patients. After 40 days treatment, the MAOA expression of the PT group was increased, and there was no significant change in EA group. The correlation analysis indicated that IAT scores were positively correlated with SAS, SDS, Y-BOCS, BIS and PSQI at baseline. In addition, after treatment the EA group showed that the change in IAT scores was positively correlated with the change in Y-BOCS and BIS scores, and the PT group showed that the change in IAT scores was positively correlated with the change in SDS, BIS and PSQI scores.ConclusionThe present study showed that electroacupuncture and psychological intervention can improve severity of Internet addiction, mental status, sleep quality and impulsive trait of PIU patients. Simultaneously, neurobiological changes may be the underlying mechanisms of psychotherapy for internet additcion.

“…Our results draw attention because it suggests a modi cation of teenagers on their choice and time in an electronic devices. TV could be to leave their bad place and probably would have to create several interventions to ght avoid all day time spent on cell phone (35). Independently of all other important factors such as mental risk factors, dietary and cell phone seems to be the main predictors of insu cient and inadequate sleep time.…”

Background: It is expected that children involved in daily physical activities and/or sports should be protected from the risk associated with the sedentary profile in sleep conditions. This is because physical activity is a protective behavior and is inversely associated with the early development of risk factors in the young population. Although there are many studies including sleep conditions and physical activity, we still do not know whether regular sports practice could be associated with better sleep conditions. Therefore, this study has the following objectives, (1): to determine which are the most common electronic display devices related to sleep time and conditions; (2) determine which is the most common social network application such as Facebook, Tik-Tok, Instagram, Twitter and WhatsApp associated with sleep time and conditions and (3) verify the role of sports engagement as protective behavior in these relationships. Methods: Cross-sectional study, with 1101 Spanish adolescents, between 12 and 17 years old. Age, sex, sleep, psychosocial health, adherence to the Mediterranean diet, adherence to sport, and time spent on screen devices were assessed by questionnaire. Linear regression was applied, adjusting the associated variables. Poisson regression was applied between the sexes. Values of p<0.05 were considered significant. The analyzes were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 27.0. Results: the cell phone was more associated with sleep time. In boys, time spent on cell phones and video games had a higher prevalence ratio. When psychosocial health was included in the models, we found the greatest association. For girls, time spent on the cell phone was significantly associated with sleep quality, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet became the second most important in the model, followed by psychosocial health and cell phone use. Time spent on WhatsApp was associated with sleep quality only among girls and was the most important variable in the model along with diet and psychosocial health. Conclusions: Our results suggest a strong relationship between cell phones, video games and social networks with sleep quality and time.
