Studies Highlight Impact of Excessive Screen Time on Indian Children’s Sleep and Health

Recent studies and surveys in India highlight the growing impact of excessive screen time on children's and teenagers' sleep and health. Experts note that blue light from devices suppresses melatonin, delaying sleep onset, while mental stimulation from screens disrupts rest. Research shows many children exceed recommended screen limits, with some meeting criteria for screen addiction. A survey found 62% of teens stay awake past 11 PM due to smartphone use, raising parental concerns about sleep quality and related health risks.
