Description
Masen Zhang and co-authors study sleep, screen time, and weight in Chinese teens in a 2025 paper. They drew on 6,174 adolescents in Shandong Province, with height and weight measured on site and habits gathered by questionnaire. Teens were grouped by whether they slept at least eight hours and whether daily screen-based sitting time reached two hours.
About 27 percent of the teens were overweight. Those who slept too little had higher rates than those who slept enough, and heavy screen time showed the same pattern. After adjusting for other factors, both habits still raised the odds of overweight on their own. Teens with both short sleep and heavy screen time faced the highest risk of all.
