Loneliness and nervousness mediated the longitudinal association between sleep disorders and cyberbullying victimization in school-aged adolescents
Sleep disorders independently predict cyberbullying victimization in adolescents, with stronger effects observed in girls. Loneliness and nervousness partially mediate this association. Targeted interventions to improve sleep, reduce loneliness and nervousness, and sex-specific strategies may mitigate cyberbullying victimization in school-aged adolescents.
