The effects of electronic device usage on sleep quality and :academic performance of adolescents aged 10-19

Abstract

Einleitung: In den letzten zehn Jahren hat der Zusammenhang zwischen elektronischen Geräten, Schlaf und schulischen Leistungen bei Jugendlichen zunehmend an Aufmerksamkeit gewonnen, insbesondere die Auswirkungen von elektronischen Geräten auf die Schlafqualität und den schulischen Erfolg. Das Verständnis der Auswirkungen der Nutzung elektronischer Geräte auf das Schlafverhalten und die schulischen Leistungen von 10- bis 19-Jährigen ist angesichts der möglichen langfristigen Folgen von Schlafmangel und der zunehmenden Nutzung elektronischer Geräte von entscheidender Bedeutung.Methodik: Es wurde eine selektive Literaturrecherche in Datenbanken wie PubMed, Science-Direct und Google Scholar durchgeführt. Darüber hinaus wurde die Literatur durch die Nutzung des Online-Katalogs der FH JOANNEUM und des Österreichischen Bibliothekenverbundes erweitert.Ergebnisse: Jugendliche nutzen Smartphones häufig vor dem Schlafengehen, was aufgrund von Benachrichtigungen und Blaulichtexposition zu unzureichendem Schlaf und schlechter Schlafqualität führt. Blaulicht kann die Melatoninproduktion unterdrücken, wodurch der Schlafrhythmus gestört und die kognitiven Funktionen beeinträchtigt werden können. Es wirken sich sowohl schlechter Schlaf als auch nächtliche Bildschirmtätigkeit negativ auf die geistige Leistungsfähigkeit aus, da sie die Aufmerksamkeit, das Gedächtnis und die Konzentrationsfähigkeit beeinträchtigen.Conclusio: Die Literatur weist auf einen starken Zusammenhang zwischen der Nutzung elektronischer Geräte, Schlafstörungen und schlechteren schulischen Leistungen bei Jugendlichen hin. Die Ergebnisse unterstreichen die schädlichen Auswirkungen der nächtlichen Bildschirmnutzung und der Blaulichtexposition auf die Schlafqualität und verdeutlichen, wie wichtig es ist, sich gesündere digitale Gewohnheiten anzugewöhnen. Um Jugendliche bei der Verbesserung ihres Schlafs und ihrer schulischen Leistungen zu unterstützen, werden Interventionen auf mehreren Ebenen empfohlen, die Familien, Schulen und gesellschaftliche Maßnahmen einbeziehen. Weitere Forschungen sollten objektive Messinstrumente und Längsschnittstudien einsetzen und verschiedene Population einbeziehen.

Introduction: In the last decade, the relationship between electronic devices, sleep and academic performance in adolescents has gained increasing attention, particularly the impact of mobile devices on sleep quality and academic success. Understanding how electronic device usage affects sleep patterns and academic performance of people aged between 10-19 years is crucial due to potential long-term consequences of sleep deprivation and the growing use of electronic devices.Method: Selective literature research was conducted in databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar. Furthermore, the literature was extended by using the online catalogue of the FH JOANNEUM – University of Applied Sciences and the Austrian Library Network. Results: Adolescents often use smartphones before bed, which leads to insufficient sleep and poor sleep quality due to notifications and blue light exposure. Blue light can suppress melatonin, which potentially disrupts sleep patterns and affects cognitive functions. Both poor sleep and late-night screen time negatively impact academic performance by impairing attention, memory and concentration.Conclusion: The literature suggests a strong correlation between electronic device use, disrupted sleep and impaired academic performance in adolescents. Current evidence highlights the detrimental effects of late-night screen time and blue light exposure on sleep quality, emphasizing the importance of adopting healthier digital habits. Multilevel interventions involving families, schools and broader societal efforts are recommended to support adolescents in improving sleep and academic outcomes. Further research should employ objective measurement tools, longitudinal studies and involve different population groups.
