Abstract Background: The majority of students experience inadequate sleep, which is linked to daytime drowsiness. Long-term screen use is thought to negatively impact sleep through a variety of mechanisms. However, media devices are developing so quickly, the correlation between media device use and poor sleep is not been sufficiently evaluated.
Aim: To assess the effect of the screen time on the sleep quality among college students
Materials and Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out on the students of Alva’s Ayurveda Medical College and Hospital, Moodubidire using a self-administered online questionnaire through Google forms. The questionnaire covered student’s personal information, medical history, screen usage including the type of device, duration of screen use, effect of screen use on their sleep quality.
Result: A total of 60 students fulfilling the inclusion criteria completed the study questionnaire. Students aged from 19-30 with the mean age of 24.19. Among those, 12 students (20 %) used screen for more than 5 hours on daily basis, 10 students (16.66 %) used screen for 4-5 hrs, 19 students (31.66 %) used screen for 3-4 hours, 17 students (28.33 %) used screen for 2-3 hrs, 2 students (3.33 %) used screen for less than 2 hours.
