In survey-weighted fully adjusted models, high screen exposure was associated with increased odds of type 2 diabetes (OR 3.47, 95% CI 2.74–4.36). Sleep duration was not independently associated with type 2 diabetes, while diagnosed sleep disorders were associ…
In a case-control study, prolonged nighttime device use (>4 h), high blue-light display patterns, and use of nightlights during sleep were significantly associated with depressive symptoms in adolescents, independent of demographic and sleep-related factors; …
The review states that blue-rich display emission in the 450–480 nm band, particularly with evening exposure, can suppress melatonin via melanopsin-mediated ipRGC pathways and perturb circadian timing, potentially attenuating digital therapeutic efficacy. It …
This narrative review reports that prolonged and inappropriate mobile phone use, especially in the evening/pre-bedtime period, is associated with circadian rhythm disruption (described as blue light–induced melatonin suppression) and with delayed sleep onset,…
