The Effects of gadgets usage on marital relationship satisfaction and sleep quality among housewives

This study aimed to investigate the effects of gadgets usage on marital relationship satisfaction and sleep quality among housewives. The study includes quantitative, cross-sectional design with participation of 173 housewives under the age group of 25 -50 years. To determine the impacts on housewives, participants' frequencies of gadget use (less than an hour, one to three hours, and more than three hours) are gathered. Statistical tests confirm a significant relationship between gadget use and marital satisfaction, with excessive gadget use negatively affecting marital relationship quality. However, no significant difference is observed in sleep quality across different levels of gadget usage, suggesting that other external factors may influence sleep patterns. The study concludes that excessive gadget use negatively affects marital relationships, likely due to decreased face-to-face interactions and increased distractions. However, sleep quality remains largely unaffected by gadget usage. These findings emphasize the need for mindful digital consumption, promoting a balanced approach to technology use in maintaining healthy relationships and overall well-being. Future research should explore longitudinal effects and other variables affecting sleep quality to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of gadget usage on family dynamics.
