Abstract
The rapid rise of short-form social media content has transformed nighttime screen habits among young adults. This study will investigate how the type of online content consumed before bedtime influences sleep quality and cognitive performance. Using validated questionnaires through a Google Form, including BMASS to assess social media addiction, the PROMIS Sleep Disturbance Short Form, and the DASS-8 to assess depression, the study aims to identify the relationship between social media use behaviors and sleep outcomes. These assessments measured the behavioral addiction related to social media and overall sleep quality of participants. This study explores the correlations between nighttime social media use, particularly short-form content, and its potential cognitive and sleep-related effects. Findings are expected to provide valuable insight into how late-night scrolling behaviors influence health and well-being, contributing to awareness programs and interventions that promote healthier digital habits.
