To investigate the associations between leisure screen time and theinsomnia symptoms among adolescents.
A random cluster sampling method was used to assess leisure screen time among adolescents aged 12-18 attending schools in Pidu District, Chengdu. Participants reported their screen time on school days and weekends via self-administered questionnaires. Insomnia symptoms were collected using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Adolescents were categorized into two groups based on their ISI scores: the non-insomnia group (ISI score <7) and the insomnia group (ISI score ≥7). Logistic regression models, adjusted for multiple confounders, were used to estimate the association between leisure screen time and the occurrence of insomnia symptoms.
A total of 13 240 adolescents participated, comprising 6 581 boys (49.7%) and 6 659 girls (50.3%), with a mean age of 15.4 years (±1.57). Of these, 51.8% reported an average daily leisure screen time exceeding 2 h, and the prevalence of insomnia symptoms was 35.3%. After adjusting for all confounding factors, logistic regression analysis indicated that leisure screen time >2 h was a significant risk factor for insomnia symptoms (OR=1.13, 95%CI=1.03-1.23). Further analysis by quartiles of leisure screen time revealed that adolescents in Q3 (OR=1.15, 95%CI=1.02-1.28) and Q4 (OR=1.22, 95%CI=1.08-1.39) had significantly increased risks of insomnia, whereas no significant association was observed in the Q2 group. A clear dose-response relationship was observed between leisure screen time and insomnia (Ptrend<0.001). Subgroup analyses by sex, region, economic status, single child, and caretaker did not reveal significant interactions (Pinteraction>0.05).
Prolonged leisure screen time significantly increases the risk of insomnia symptoms among adolescents. Parents and schools should encourage physical activity and reduce electronic device usage to promote their well-being.
