Removing screen time in the hour before bedtime was feasible and showed modest preliminary benefits for sleep.
Taking screens away from toddlers an hour before bedtime resulted in slight improvements in sleep; however, this intervention did not have a significant impact on attention measures.The randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a 7-week, parent-administered screen time intervention in toddlers aged 16-30 months who watched TV, a tablet, or a smartphone in the hour before bed.
Parents in the PASTI group were asked to remove screens for their toddlers before bed and use alternative activities such as puzzles or books; those in the bedtime box–only group received similar activities without any instructions about screen time removal. Adherence to the PASTI intervention was high, with most families reporting no screen time in the hour before bed on 60% or more of daily screen time questionnaires.
