Social jetlag is the difference between our body’s natural sleep rhythms and the time that social tasks — including social media — keep us awake.
If a teenager is wrestling with emotional issues, maybe they’re suffering from “social jetlag.”
“Screen use before sleep was associated with later chronotype and then greater social jetlag, which was further related to higher levels of emotional problems,” wrote the authors of the study,Researchers gathered data from two different surveys conducted among more than 4,000 Chinese high school students.
This greater degree of social jetlag, and the disruption of their natural sleep rhythms, puts adolescents at a higher risk of emotional or psychological problems. “The findings suggested that healthy media-use habits should be developed, and intervention strategies targeting circadian characteristics should be designated to promote emotional health in the adolescent population,” the study authors wrote.Shutterstock
