Abstract

This review will seek to investigate whether social media has an influence on sleeping duration and quality, and to what extent social media effect residents especially teenagers’ sleeping. An increasing number of studies have found out that the time students spend in social media is rising dramatically due to the necessary use, the fear of missing out and the desire to talk and share something with others. Consequently, plenty of people use social media no matter it is necessary or not and they would probably check their social media account frequently at night since missing something can make them feel embarrassed, so the use of social media has already left a deep influence on certain group of teenagers and also some young adults. Nevertheless, if people take the advantages of social media, and use it in the right way under great self-discipline. it is profoundly convenient and practical for individuals and have no negative effect on sleeping duration and quality.
