Problematic technology use and sleep quality in young adulthood: novel insights from a nationally representative twin study

Adolescent reported problematic use of digital technology is associated with poor sleep quality-even after controlling for familial factors including genetic confounds. Our results suggest that the association between adolescents' sleep and problematic digital technology use is not accounted for by shared genetic liability or familial factors but could reflect a causal association. This robust association needs to be examined in future research designed to test causal associations.
