Texting/iPod dependence, executive function and sleep quality in college students
Pages 44 - 49
Abstract
Tested college student sleep quality (using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index).Poor sleepers: depressed, anxious, texting/iPod dependent, poor executive function.Interventions promoting healthy sleep practices in college students are needed. Participants were classified as "good" sleepers (n=70) or "poor" sleepers (n=66) based on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI; Buysee, Reynolds, Monk, Berman, & Kupfer, 1989). Differences between good and poor sleepers were examined on executive function, texting and iPod dependence, depression, and anxiety. Poor sleepers reported higher levels of depression, higher levels of state and trait anxiety, greater texting dependence and iPod dependence, and poorer executive function performance, as compared to good sleepers. Poor sleep quality among college students may contribute to a range of negative psychological, neuropsychological, and social consequences.
