  • Sleep habits and problems were evaluated through a semi-structured inquiry.

    • Main Results:

    • 16% of adolescents reported poor sleep quality.
    • Higher IAS scores correlated with later bedtimes, increased time to fall asleep, and more nighttime awakenings.
    • Adolescents with higher IAS scores experienced more sleep initiation/sustainment difficulties, waking problems, and daytime sleepiness, alongside worse overall sleep quality.

    Conclusions:

    • Problematic sleep habits and sleep issues are more common in adolescents with higher internet addiction scores.
    • Healthcare providers should recognize the adverse effects of excessive internet use on adolescent sleep.
    • Interventions addressing uncontrolled internet use may improve adolescent sleep patterns.
