Screen time is contributing to chronic sleep deprivation in tweens and teens – a pediatric sleep expert explains how critical sleep is to kids' mental health

In many cases, this likely means resetting boundaries on screen use, especially late in the evenings.

Key Points: 
  • In many cases, this likely means resetting boundaries on screen use, especially late in the evenings.
  • Amid an unprecedented mental health crisis in which some 42% of adolescents in the U.S. are suffering from mental health issues, teens are also getting too little sleep.
  • I am the lead physician of the sleep center at Seattle Children’s Hospital, where I study various pediatric sleep disorders.

Relationship between mental health and poor sleep

    • Research has long shown a clear relationship between mental health and sleep: Poor sleep can lead to poor mental health and vice versa.
    • People with depression and anxiety commonly have insomnia, a condition in which people have trouble falling or staying asleep, or both, or getting refreshing sleep.
    • That ongoing sleep deprivation further worsens the very depression and anxiety that caused the insomnia in the first place.

The strong pull of screens and social media

    • Although social media has some benefits, I believe research makes it clear that there are significantly more downsides to social media consumption than upsides.
    • For one, scrolling social media requires being awake, and hence, displaces sleep.
    • When melatonin release is inhibited by staring at a lit device near bedtime, falling asleep becomes more challenging.
    • Worst of all, social media can contribute to FOMO – short for the fear of missing out.

A state of chronic sleep deprivation

    • Multiple professional medical and scientific organizations have recommended that teens sleep eight to 10 hours per night.
    • In addition, sleep deprivation is directly linked with high blood pressure, heart attacks and the development of diabetes in adulthood.
    • Undesired weight gain occurs with sleep deprivation though a series of complex mechanisms, including shifts in metabolism, a more sedentary lifestyle and poor dietary choices.

A way forward

    • Keeping goals realistic is key, and sometimes it is helpful to start by focusing on just one goal.
    • Parents need to prioritize sleep for the entire household and model good screen time habits.
    • Remember that not everything has to be done all at once – incremental changes can make a big difference over time.
