“…The results of this study confirmed the negative impact of video games use on children's sleep quality, specifically concerning sleep onset and daytime sleepiness. Our results are supported by previous studies that demonstrated the negative impact of children's use of electronic devices before bedtime (Beyens & Nathanson, 2018;Brunborg et al, 2011;Cespedes et al, 2014;Gradisar et al, 2013;Higuchi et al, 2005;Hysing et al, 2015;LeBourgeois et al, 2017;Moorman & Harrison, 2018;Nathanson & Beyens, 2016;Oka et al, 2008;Parent et al, 2016;Weaver et al, 2010).…”

“…Concerning the use of video games and its frequency during childhood (Parent et al, 2016), recent research has examined the influence of general technology use on sleep quality and sleep habits of children and adolescents (Beyens & Nathanson, 2018;Cain & Gradisar, 2010;Calamaro, Mason, & Ratcliff, 2009;Genuneit et al, 2018;Kevitiyagala et al, 2011;Moorman & Harrison, 2018). Hysing and colleagues (2015) developed a correlational study with 9.846 students to assess their sleep quality, considering a daily use of electronic devices before bedtime.…”

This research investigates the relationship between infant sleep quality, the use of electronic devices and video games before bedtime, and bullying behaviors in school context. Is infant sleep quality and the use of electronic devices before bedtime related to bullying? Does the use of electronic devices before bedtime affect sleep duration and sleep latency? The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the use of electronic devices before bedtime and infant sleep quality. Furthermore, it aims to analyze the relationship between infant sleep duration and latency, the daily use of electronic devices and video games, and bullying behaviors in school context. Participants were divided into two groups. One group included 860 children who responded to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ-PT), and a Sociodemographic Questionnaire. The other group contained 51 children who answered a Sociodemographic Questionnaire and the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ-PT). A statistically significant relationship between sleep quality and the use of electronic devices before bedtime was found, for all devices except television. A statistically significant relationship between sleep quality and bullying behaviors was observed. A relationship between the use of electronic devices before bedtime and bullying behaviors was found which was statistically significant only for listening to music. A negative correlation was also discovered between sleep latency and daily use of video games. There seems to be a relationship between sleep quality and bullying behaviors in school and between the use of electronic devices and sleep quality. Also, listening to music before bedtime is positively related to bullying behaviors. Moreover, the daily use of video games before bedtime significantly affects children's sleep latency (and REM sleep).

“…(Lissak, 2018). Excessive screen time can cause sleep disorders in childhood and adolescence and these sleep disorders are linked to internalizing, externalizing, and peer problems (Parent, Sanders, & Forehand, 2016). In our study, we found that screen time predicts conflicts with parents, academic problems, negative influence in friendships (risk for negative friendships and harm), and sleep problems according to parents' reports.…”

Screen use habits among children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders: A cross-sectional study from Turkey

et al. 2020

In this cross-sectional study, we investigated screen use habits, problematic internet use (PIU), and screen-psychopathology relationship in a clinical sample of children and adolescents. The study included 277 children and adolescents (129 [46.4%] girls) aged between 6-17 years referred to a psychiatry outpatient setting for various reasons. All parents completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), while adolescents also completed the Internet Addiction Test (IAT). The mean screen time was 3.85 (SD = 2.72) hours per day. Longer screen times were found among children and adolescents with specific psychiatric disorders compared to those with no psychiatric symptoms; especially among those with internalizing disorders (i.e., an anxiety disorder and/or depression), but also with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and/or conduct disorder. Longer screen time may be related with more functioning impairments. Based on the IAT, 2.1% of adolescents may have PIU. The findings from this study suggest that children and adolescents with psychiatric symptoms may have prolonged screen times. This needs to be taken into account during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

“…Nevertheless, the purpose of this study was to examine sleep problems in otherwise healthy children and in relation to various socio-demographic factors. An additional limitation is that factors like excessive noise in the environment, sleeping with a pet in the room, or habits, like computer or other devices use, which are known to be associated with shorter sleep duration or higher prevalence of sleep disturbances (11,28,29) were not examined. However, as our results show, among the studied subgroups, no difference was observed in sleep initiation time, a factor which could be attributed to the use of an electronic device prior to sleep; on the contrary, the observed differences were in the time children were awakened.…”

Predictors of Sleep Duration and Sleep Disturbance in Children of a Culturally Diverse Region in North-Eastern Greece

et al. 2020

Background Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the sleep characteristics of children and explore associations with various socio-demographic factors in an area of Greece characterized by cultural diversity. Methods: A questionnaire about children's sleep habits had been distributed to parents of children who visited the pediatric outpatient clinic of University General Hospital of Alexandroupolis for a medical examination and to get a health certificate for participation in sports activities. Children with chronic health conditions were excluded. Results: In the study, 449 children (27.1% belonging to minorities) were included, aged 7.6 ± 2.9 years. Most of them (81.7%) slept after 10 p.m., with a mean nocturnal sleep duration of 9.4 ± 1.2 h. The most commonly reported disturbance was snoring (26.2%). Age and high educational level of the mother were both important determinants for sleeping late [OR 1.139 (1.033-1.255); p = 0.009 and OR 1.086 (1.004-1.175); p = 0.040, respectively]. The latter was also associated with an absence of any reported sleep disorder in children [OR 0.934 (0.877-0.994); p = 0.031]. A longer sleep duration was reported among Roma children (p = 0.022), which was more overt in girls (mean sleep duration 10.4 ± 1.6 h). In the Roma group also, the prevalence of sleep disorders was higher. Conclusion: Age progression and maternal educational level, along with cultural background, seem to be correlated with variations in the sleep characteristics of children in a culturally diverse population in Greece.
