The influence of screen time on sleep quality
Wat erin zit
Phone usage worldwide is increasing rapidly, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, where we are stuck at home. Research has already proven that phone usage can have a negative effect on our health, especially on sleep. It results in less sleep per night, a lower sleep quality and less amount of deep sleep per night.The aim of this research is to validate the negative effect of a high amount of phone usage on sleep quality. This research study has been set up with five participants, between the age of 21 - 25, where two weeks of data on phone usage, heart rate and sleep quality is acquired while using (on-body) sensors.Several visualizations have been made to find the effect of phone usage on sleep. From these visualizations can be concluded that high phone usage does not have an influence on sleep quality but it does influence the amount of deep sleep per night. Besides, phone usage in the evening and night seem to have more influence on deep sleep than phone usage in the morning.
