Investigation on the association between college students’ smartphone-related behaviors and sleep quality during COVID-19
During the COVID-19 pandemic, smartphone-related behaviors such as having the phone off during sleep, playing games before sleep, and using social media apps were identified as risk factors affecting sleep quality. This study provides empirical evidence for developing interventions aimed at improving sleep quality among college students in the context of heightened stress and disrupted routines caused by the pandemic.
