Association between Facebook Dependence and Poor Sleep Quality: A Study in a Sample of Undergraduate Students in Peru
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVES: Internet can accelerate information exchange. Social networks are the most accessed especially Facebook. This kind of networks might create dependency with several negative consequences in people's life. The aim of this study was to assess potential association between Facebook dependence and poor sleep quality. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: A cross sectional study was performed enrolling undergraduate students of the Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas, Lima, Peru. The Internet Addiction Questionnaire, adapted to the Facebook case, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, were used. A global score of 6 or greater was defined as the cutoff to determine poor sleep quality. Generalized linear model were used to determine prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). A total of 418 students were analyzed; of them, 322 (77.0%) were women, with a mean age of 20.1 (SD: 2.5) years. Facebook dependence was found in 8.6% (95% CI: 5.9%-11.3%), whereas poor sleep quality was present in 55.0% (95% CI: 50.2%-59.8%). A significant association between Facebook dependence and poor sleep quality mainly explained by daytime dysfunction was found (PR = 1.31; IC95%: 1.04-1.67) after adjusting for age, sex and years in the faculty. CONCLUSIONS: There is a relationship between Facebook dependence and poor quality of sleep. More than half of students reported poor sleep quality. Strategies to moderate the use of this social network and to improve sleep quality in this population are needed.

Compared to nonaddicts, adolescents who had a social media addiction, as well as those with other forms of internet addiction, suffered from poor sleep quality, used more alcohol and tobacco, ate irregularly, and had poor diets.
“A number of studies (Andreassen, 2015; Kim, Park, Kim, Jung, Lim, & Kim, 2010; Koc & Gulyagci, 2013; Wolniczak et al., 2013) found that compared to nonaddicts, adolescents who had a social media addiction, as well as those with other forms of internet addiction, suffered from poor sleep quality, used more alcohol and tobacco, ate irregularly, and had poor diets.”
From Ethics of the Attention Economy: The Problem of Social Media Addiction (2021) · cites this paper as Wolniczak et al., 2013
The Results report poorer sleep quality among Facebook-dependent than non-dependent undergraduate students in Peru (69.4% versus 53.7%); the Discussion also states an association between Facebook dependence and poor sleep quality. The study does not establish these findings for adolescents or other forms of internet addiction. Although the Discussion mentions drinking and smoking as possible harms, it does not report a comparison of alcohol or tobacco use, irregular eating, or diet between the groups. (LLM, conf=0.91)

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.
