The limited existing research in this area has reported few associations between device use before bed and subsequent sleep, although screen use was measured objectively in just 1 study (smartphones only).
“The limited existing research in this area has reported few associations between device use before bed and subsequent sleep,19,20,21 although screen use was measured objectively in just 1 study (smartphones only).19”
From Screen Use at Bedtime and Sleep Duration and Quality Among Youths (2024) · cites this paper as [20]
The Results (§3.2, page unavailable) found no significant association between media multitasking and subsequent sleep problems across the study waves, lending limited support to the statement about few subsequent associations. But this study did not specifically measure device use before bed, and Shortcomings and future research (§4.1, page unavailable) explicitly says it used only subjective self-reports—not objective smartphone tracking.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
