## Resource

Teens spend an average of fifty minutes on their phones during school night overnight hours, primarily on social media platforms. However, usage varies widely, with some teens spending over seventy-one minutes. This late-night phone habit could disrupt sleep patterns, impacting brain function and mental well-being. The study, conducted on Android devices, suggests that this behavior may be a concern for many young people. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
