The Effect of Duration of Digital Content Consumption and Type of Digital Platform on Adolescent Sleep Patterns through Sleep Quality at SMA Negeri 4 Bogor

Abstract

The widespread use of digital platforms has significantly changed adolescents' daily habits, including their sleep patterns. This study investigates the impact of digital content consumption duration and platform types on the sleep patterns of high school students, mediated by sleep quality. Conducted at SMA Negeri 4 Bogor, the research uses a quantitative explanatory approach with a sample of 100 students selected via stratified random sampling. Data were collected using online questionnaires and analyzed through Partial Least Squares (PLS) with SmartPLS. Results reveal that both duration and type of digital platform significantly influence sleep quality and patterns. Social media and online gaming, in particular, contribute to late bedtimes and lower sleep quality. Sleep quality was found to mediate the effect of digital behavior on sleep patterns. The findings suggest that reducing screen time before bedtime and choosing less stimulating platforms can improve sleep hygiene. This study offers practical insights for educators and parents to promote healthier digital habits and better adolescent sleep quality.
