0134 Project Tech: The Impact of Technology Usage on Sleep in College Students

摘要

IntroductionMore than 60% of college students are categorized as poor-quality sleepers, which negatively impacts not only physical and psychological health, but academic performance as well. Technology is increasingly becoming a necessity for college students in almost all aspects of life such as work, school, and social life. Based on recent correlational research, it has been suggested that technology use has a negative impact on sleep quality and quantity. Project Tech is a 4-week intervention designed to improve sleep quality and quantity through the use of sleep hygiene and stimulus control, and, more specifically, by eliminating technology use in bed and before bedtime.
