Impacts of Late-Night Phone and Video Calling on Sleep Quality and Technological Barriers

This study analyzed the impacts of nighttime phone and video calling on sleep behaviors using survey data from 193 Indonesian consumers.Descriptive findings revealed prevalent engagement in late-night calls with family and friends, frequently till midnight or beyond.Over 50% of respondents reported sleep disturbances like insomnia.Technological problems encountered also included connectivity issues, overheating, and ambient noise.Qualitative insights highlighted desires for lower battery consumption, automatic shut-offs after inactivity, and built-in do-not-disturb features.While exploratory, results indicate potential circadian disruption and platform design issues that can negatively impact sleep quality and daily functioning.Targeted education for aware technology usage and human-centered interface improvements focused on well-being may help mitigate emergent risks of 24/7 social availability expectations enabled via mobile devices.
