Main Article Content
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The physiological condition of unconsciousness known as sleep is controlled by homeostatic mechanisms. We spend almost one-third of our lives asleep. Sleep is crucial for maintaining healthy cognitive and physical processes, removing cellular toxins, preventing disease, and healing the body and mind [1].
AIM: The purpose of the study is to determine how far the screen time is affecting the quality of sleep in young individuals and how physical activity acted as a mediating factor in regulating the sleep wake cycle.
METHODOLOGY: This experimental study determines the possible effect of excessive screen time in disturbing the sleep wake cycle. By analyzing the extent of smartphone influence in the quality of sleep, the appropriate intervention is given.
RESULT: A high rate of prevalence is detected for those having sleep disturbances. Out of 136 participants, 43 were found to have a altered sleep pattern. 31.61% have sleep deficits due to various reasons. After giving the intervention, it was founded to have a great impact in the students and their quality of sleep.
CONCLUSION: There was an massive change in the quality of sleep and the students came to know the adverse effects of smartphone influence in the sleep wake cycle.
