RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2026
This randomized controlled crossover trial in 16 male elite soccer players compared two hours of smartphone use before bedtime with magazine reading. Five consecutive nights of pre-bedtime smartphone use significantly worsened multiple sleep metrics and increased sleepiness. The study also reports deteriorations in…
The influence of smartphone addiction on sleep quality among college students: The parallel mediating roles of perceived stress and health-promoting lifestyle.
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2026
This cross-sectional study surveyed 2,317 college students to examine associations between smartphone addiction and sleep quality. Smartphone addiction was associated with poorer sleep quality, and mediation analyses indicated that higher perceived stress and lower health-promoting lifestyle scores partially…
