Teen Health Concern Grows Over Late-Night Scrolling
A new study found many teens spend an hour or more on their phones late at night, reducing healthy sleep and affecting mental health, learning and emotional control. Experts warn that late-night scrolling on apps like TikTok, Instagram and YouTube can increase anxiety, irritability and fatigue. Researchers say poor sleep may also raise risks of depression and risky behavior. Parents are encouraged to create family screen-time rules and keep devices out of bedrooms.
