Description
Dereje Esubalew and co-authors published a 2024 study of poor sleep quality among medical students in Ethiopia who use smartphones at bedtime. Medical students are prone to short sleep as it is. A phone in bed can make it worse. The team set out to measure the problem and name its drivers.
The study drew 354 students at random from three universities. Sleep was scored with a well-known sleep questionnaire, and interviews filled in the rest. The scores were analyzed with statistical tools that weigh many factors at once. More than two in three of the bedtime phone users slept poorly. Poor sleep was tied to six factors: sex, daily coffee, what the phone was used for, how the phone was held, how long it was used, and past ill health. Social media apps led the phone uses, at more than two in five of the group.
