Description
Lumin Liu and a large team link, in 2026, screen time with poor sleep in women treated for breast cancer. Sleeplessness hits this group harder than most cancer patients. The study enrolled 778 women at a hospital in Shanghai, China. Phone-based records gave daily screen time for some, and all reported screen use before bed plus sleep quality.
Each extra half hour of screen time came with higher odds of sleeplessness. The link was stronger for screen use right before bed. Women above the middle level of use faced odds two to three times higher. Felt stigma sharpened the harm, with the highest odds in women high on both counts. The authors urge sleep advice that covers screens.
