Abstract

Objectives: The use of social media during bedtime has increased in the past years among adolescents, contributing to disturbed sleep quality, which could potentially be related to emotional problems. This study aimed to analyze the mediation effects of sleep parameters on the relationship between NightTime Texting (NTT) on social media and adolescent sadness.

Methods: We used a cross-sectional study and evaluated a total of 1464 Swedish students aged 15-17 (55.7% girls) to examine their frequency of NTT on social media, sleep parameters, and adolescent sadness. Bivariate and mediation analyses were performed.

Results: Approximately 60% (n = 882) of adolescents engaged in nighttime instant messaging, with 37% (n = 330) reporting texting every night. Higher frequency of NTT was significantly associated with later bedtimes (η2 > 0.12), extended weekend wake-up times (η2 = 0.07), increased social jetlag (η2 = 0.07), and reduced sleep duration on schooldays (η2 = 0.10). Multicategorical parallel mediation analyses revealed that sleep duration on schooldays had an indirect effect on the relationship between both Occasional NTT (a11b1 = 0.05, p < .05) and Daily NTT (a21b1 = 0.12, p < .05) with sadness. Mediation effects were not moderated by gender (p > .05), however, the association between Occasional NTT and higher sadness was significantly linked to boys (t = 2.72; p = .007).

Conclusions: Findings showed a large percentage of adolescents engaging in nighttime social media use with worse quality of sleep, and underlined sleep duration on schooldays as a mediator associated with emotional problems in adolescents. These insights can aid in developing strategies for healthier habits to address the misuse of social media and prevent related health problems.

社交媒体上的夜间短信、睡眠参数和青少年的悲伤情绪:中介分析
研究目的在过去几年中,青少年在睡前使用社交媒体的情况有所增加,这导致了睡眠质量的下降,而睡眠质量的下降可能与情绪问题有关。本研究旨在分析睡眠参数对社交媒体夜间发短信(NTT)与青少年悲伤情绪之间关系的调节作用:我们采用横断面研究法,对 1464 名 15-17 岁的瑞典学生(55.7% 为女生)进行了评估,考察了他们在社交媒体上发 NTT 的频率、睡眠参数和青春期忧伤情绪。研究进行了双变量分析和中介分析:约 60% 的青少年(n = 882)在夜间发送即时信息,37% 的青少年(n = 330)表示每晚都发短信。NTT频率越高,就寝时间越晚(η2 > 0.12),周末起床时间越长(η2 = 0.07),社会时差越长(η2 = 0.07),工作日睡眠时间越短(η2 = 0.10)。多分类平行中介分析表明,工作日的睡眠时间对偶尔性 NTT 之间的关系有间接影响(a11b1 = 0.05,p .05),然而,偶尔性 NTT 与较高的悲伤情绪之间的关系与男生有显著联系(t = 2.72;p = .007):研究结果表明,很大比例的青少年在夜间使用社交媒体时睡眠质量较差,并强调工作日的睡眠时间是与青少年情绪问题相关的中介因素。这些见解有助于制定更健康的生活习惯策略,以应对社交媒体的滥用并预防相关的健康问题。

期刊介绍: Behavioral Sleep Medicine addresses behavioral dimensions of normal and abnormal sleep mechanisms and the prevention, assessment, and treatment of sleep disorders and associated behavioral and emotional problems. Standards for interventions acceptable to this journal are guided by established principles of behavior change. Intending to serve as the intellectual home for the application of behavioral/cognitive science to the study of normal and disordered sleep, the journal paints a broad stroke across the behavioral sleep medicine landscape. Its content includes scholarly investigation of such areas as normal sleep experience, insomnia, the relation of daytime functioning to sleep, parasomnias, circadian rhythm disorders, treatment adherence, pediatrics, and geriatrics. Multidisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome. The journal’ domain encompasses human basic, applied, and clinical outcome research. Behavioral Sleep Medicine also embraces methodological diversity, spanning innovative case studies, quasi-experimentation, randomized trials, epidemiology, and critical reviews.
