Pre-sleep screen time and screen time addiction as shared determinants of poor sleep and obesity in adolescents aged 11–14 years in Scotland
These screen time behaviours, alongside wellbeing should be considered in multi-component health-promoting interventions aimed at improving adolescent sleep and reducing obesity risk. Future research should employ longitudinal designs to clarify the directionality of these associations and determine the effectiveness of interventions that target both screen time behaviours and wellbeing.
