The STRICT study, which stands for "Study of Internet Use and Sleep Among Teens," generally found that excessive internet use can have a negative impact on sleep quality. Key findings suggested that increased screen time, particularly before bedtime, was associated with poorer sleep quality and shorter sleep duration among adolescents. This includes aspects such as increased difficulties in falling asleep, more frequent sleep disturbances, and a higher likelihood of experiencing symptoms of sleep disorders. The study emphasized the importance of monitoring internet use, especially in the evening, to promote healthier sleep patterns in young individuals.
