description | This retrospective cohort study investigates the association between the incidence of sleep problems and changes in digital media use among university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. It used data from annual health check-ups performed at a Japanese university in 2019 and 2020. Students undergoing these check-ups were identified to respond to questions about sleep problems, digital media use, breakfast and exercise habits, and stress. In total, 3,869 students were included in the analysis. The association between the incidence of sleep problems in 2020 and the changes in digital media use between 2019 and 2020 was assessed using logistic regression models. The rate of long digital media use (≥ 2 hours) in 2019 was 42.6%, while in 2020 it was 53.6%. Incidence of sleep problems was observed in 244 students (6.3%) in 2020. There were 786 students (20.3%) who used digital media for ≤ 2 h in 2019 and ≥ 2 h in 2020. From the sample, 66 students (8.4%) reported incidence of sleep problems in 2020. Additionally, those respondents who specifically reported increased digital media use between 2019 and 2020 (increased use) where at greater risk (OR: 1.76; 95% CI: 1.21, 2.55) of reporting sleep problems in 2020, even after controlling for other study variables. Thus, this study provides evidence that the incidence of sleep problems has had a significant association with an increase in digital media use among university students throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings highlight the importance of ensuring appropriate digital media use among students for improved quality of sleep. |
