Woods and Scott (2016) investigated the relationship between social media use and sleep quality, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem in 467 adolescents. The study found that higher social media use, particularly at night, and greater emotional investment in social media were associated with poorer sleep quality, lower self-esteem, and higher levels of anxiety and depression. Nighttime-specific social media use predicted poorer sleep quality even after controlling for anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. These findings suggest that social media use, especially at night, is linked to various aspects of adolescent wellbeing. The study also found that emotional investment in social media was more strongly associated with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem than overall or nighttime-specific use. The research highlights the importance of examining the timing and emotional connection to social media in understanding its impact on adolescent sleep and mental health. The study contributes to the growing body of evidence linking social media use to adolescent wellbeing, emphasizing the need for further research into the mechanisms underlying these associations. The findings suggest that social media use, particularly at night, may disrupt sleep and contribute to mental health issues in adolescents. The study also indicates that poor sleep quality is linked to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, highlighting the complex interplay between social media use and adolescent mental health. The research underscores the importance of understanding how social media use affects adolescent sleep and wellbeing, and the need for interventions to promote healthy social media practices.Woods and Scott (2016) investigated the relationship between social media use and sleep quality, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem in 467 adolescents.
