The association between social media use and sleep disturbance among young adults
Open accessAbstract
Introduction Many factors contribute to sleep disturbance among young adults. Social media (SM) use is increasing rapidly, and little is known regarding its association with sleep disturbance. Methods In 2014 we assessed a nationally-representative sample of 1788 U.S. young adults ages 19-32. SM volume and frequency were assessed by self-reported minutes per day spent on SM (volume) and visits per week (frequency) using items adapted from the Pew Internet Research Questionnaire. We assessed sleep disturbance using the brief Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) Sleep Disturbance measure. Analyses performed in Pittsburgh utilized chi-square tests and ordered logistic regression using sample weights in order to estimate effects for the total U.S. population. Results In models that adjusted for all sociodemographic covariates, participants with higher SM use volume and frequency had significantly greater odds of having sleep disturbance. For example, compared with those in the lowest quartile of SM use per day, those in the highest quartile had an AOR of 1.95 (95% CI = 1.37-2.79) for sleep disturbance. Similarly, compared with those in the lowest quartile of SM use frequency per week, those in the highest quartile had an AOR of 2.92 (95% CI = 1.97-4.32) for sleep disturbance. Associations all demonstrated a significant linear trend. Discussion The strong association between SM use and sleep disturbance has important clinical implications for the health and well-being of young adults. Future work should aim to assess directionality and to better understand the influence of contextual factors associated with SM use.

TL;DR
In a nationally representative sample of U.S. young adults ages 19–32, greater self-reported social media use was associated with higher odds of sleep disturbance. The association was stronger for frequency of social media visits than for total daily volume.
Key findings
- Median social media use was 61 minutes per day (IQR = 30, 135) and 30 visits per week (IQR = 8.5, 56.5).
- Weighted sleep disturbance distribution was 42.6% low, 28.0% medium, and 29.4% high.
- In fully adjusted models, compared with the lowest quartile of daily social media volume, the highest quartile had an AOR of 1.95 (95% CI = 1.37–2.79) for higher sleep disturbance.
- Compared with the lowest quartile of weekly social media frequency, the highest quartile had an AOR of 2.92 (95% CI = 1.97–4.32) for higher sleep disturbance; associations showed a significant linear trend (all P < .001).
Methods
- Cross-sectional analysis of 1,788 U.S. young adults ages 19–32 from the GfK KnowledgePanel, using data collected in the 18-month follow-up survey from October to November 2014.
- Social media use was self-reported as average daily minutes (volume) and weekly visits across 11 platforms (frequency); sleep disturbance was assessed with four PROMIS Sleep Disturbance short-form items and grouped into low, medium, and high tertiles.
- Chi-square tests and ordered logistic regression with survey weights were used, adjusting for sociodemographic covariates; sensitivity analyses used more parsimonious models, no survey weights, and continuous social media variables.
Limitations
- The paper states that the cross-sectional design prevents determining directionality or causality between social media use and sleep disturbance.
- The paper states reliance on retrospective self-report of social media use and sleep, without formal sleep studies or ecological momentary assessment, and notes that results cannot be generalized beyond ages 19–32.
- The paper states that the 4-item PROMIS short form, rather than computerized adaptive testing, may have contributed to non-normal response data and limited sleep disturbance to an ordinal-categorical variable; it also notes that future work should examine a broader set of covariates such as mental health status.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-08, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-08 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
