Abstract

TikTok is one of the most popular apps. TikTok's endless stream of content, the lack time stamps or notifications of ever being “all caught up,” and concealing the phone's clock make it easy to lose track of time on TikTok. However, there is a lack of knowledge about how TikTok use may therefore interfere with our circadian rhythms, particularly our sleep hygiene. By focusing on pre-sleep cognitive arousal, this study aimed to close this knowledge gap by investigating the association between automatic TikTok use and daytime fatigue. We also investigated how individual preferences for sensation seeking and delayed gratification moderated this relationship. Within a sample of 1,050 TikTok/Douyin users in China, automatic TikTok use was associated with increased daytime fatigue that was mediated by higher levels of cognitive arousal before sleep. This relationship was aggravated by a preference for sensation seeking, and attenuated by a preference for delayed gratification. Above and beyond these early empirical insights, we also provide an early explanatory framework that is meant to systematize both existing and future knowledge about the use of TikTok.

整夜跳舞:自动使用TikTok如何造成睡前认知唤醒和白天疲劳

TikTok是最受欢迎的应用程序之一。TikTok的无穷无尽的内容流，没有时间戳或“全部赶上”的通知，以及隐藏手机的时钟，让人很容易在TikTok上忘记时间。然而，对于TikTok的使用如何影响我们的昼夜节律，尤其是睡眠卫生，我们还缺乏了解。通过关注睡眠前的认知唤醒，这项研究旨在通过调查自动TikTok使用与白天疲劳之间的关系来缩小这一知识差距。我们还研究了个人对感觉寻求和延迟满足的偏好如何调节这种关系。在中国1050名抖音/抖音用户的样本中，自动使用抖音与白天疲劳增加有关，这是由睡前更高水平的认知唤醒所介导的。这种关系因寻求感觉的偏好而恶化，因延迟满足的偏好而减弱。除了这些早期的经验见解之外，我们还提供了一个早期的解释框架，旨在将有关TikTok使用的现有和未来的知识系统化。
