The Relationship Between Smartphone use and Sleep
Introduction (516 words)
Sleep is an unconscious state in which the body renews, repair and develop itself. Sleep
has always been viewed as one of the most basic necessities of human health. An average person
normally needs 8 hours of sleep to avoid tiredness during the day and perform well physically
and mentally. Sleep deprivation is becoming an important health issue worldwide and the
negative effect of this phenomenon are multiple. A lack of sleep can lead to emotional imbalance,
low concentration, and a weak immune system (Duygu & Bulent,2019). Because sleep is an
important factor that affects personal health, it is very important to investigate factors that could
harm it.
There are a lot of factors that can harm sleep quality and quantity, however the role of
mobile usage in affecting sleep problems has been the focus of researches in recent years (Duygu
& Bulent,2019). Thanks to technological advancement, smartphones enable people to have
internet access, view a lot of media content, and communicate online with friends and family.
Nowadays, almost everyone uses a smartphone. A study conducted by Gras (2015) showed that
85% of Dutch residents owned a smartphone and that 61% of Dutch people had access to a
tablet.
A high rate of availability of smartphones can have negative effects on sleep. According
to Duygu & Bulent (2019), using a smartphone before bedtime can change the sleeping time and
shorten the sleeping period. Smartphone usage interferes with sleep through increase wakefulness
caused by the bright light of smartphone devices (Duygu & Bulent, 2019). Moreover, a study by
Noree et al (2017) found a correlation between smartphone usage and the disruption of the
production of melatonin which in turn can cause the misalignment of the circadian rhythm.
