Abstract Objectives: We studied the association between objectively-measured smartphone usage and objectively-measured sleep quality and physical activity for seven consecutive days among Hong Kong adolescents and young adults aged 11–25 (n = 357, 67% female).Methods: We installed an app that tracked the subjects’ smartphone usage and had them wear an ActiGraph GT3X accelerometer on their wrist to measure their sleep quality and physical activity level. Smartphone usage data were successfully obtained from 187 participants (52.4%).Results: The participants on average spent 2 hours 46 minutes per day on their smartphone. Multilevel regression showed that, among secondary school students, one minute of daytime smartphone usage was associated with 0.12 minute decrease in total sleeping time that night (p = 0.042, 95% CI: -0.23, -0.007). One minute of bedtime smartphone usage was associated with 0.32 minute increase in wake after sleep onset that night (p = 0.04, 95% CI: 0.02, 0.62). One minute of smartphone usage during sleep was associated with sleep efficiency (β = 0.013%, p = 0.01, 95% CI: 0.003%, 0.023%) and WASO (β=-0.05, p = 0.04, 95% CI: -0.10, -0.005). One minute of daytime smartphone usage was associated with 7.15 steps increase in the number of steps (p = 0.02, 95% CI: 1.02, 13.28) among secondary school students and 3.52 steps increase in the number of steps (p = 0.03, 95% CI: 0.37, 6.66) among university students on the next day.Conclusion: Time spent on smartphone was associated with total sleeping time, the number of steps, and MVPA among Hong Kong adolescents and young adults.

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between physical activity and screen based activity with sleep patterns in adolescents.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among junior high school students in August 2016. Samples were 536 respondents selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected through interviews with a structured questionnaire, and measurements of height and waist circumference. Data analyses used chi-square, mann-whitney and logistic regression tests to explore factors associated with sleep pattern.ResultsOut off 536 respondents, poor sleep quality (34.5%) and short sleep duration (45.3%) happened among female adolescents. There was a significant correlation between screen based activity with sleep quality in adolescents. Physical activity had a significant relationship with sleep duration.ConclusionPhysical activity and SBA was associated with adolescent sleep patterns. Appropriate educational promotions by the Kulon Progo education authorities should be conducted to provide information about the importance of adequate sleep.
