Samenvatting

Er wordt vaak gedacht dat socialemediagebruik en socialemediastress een negatief effect hebben op de slaap. Het bewijs voor deze aanname is echter beperkt. Deze studie onderzoekt de crosssectionele en longitudinale verbanden tussen socialemediagebruik, socialemediastress en slaap (d.w.z. slaaplatentie en slaperigheid overdag). De vragenlijst werd door 1.441 adolescenten tussen de elf en vijftien jaar (51% jongens) op minstens een van de drie meetmomenten ingevuld. Crosssectioneel waren socialemediagebruik en socialemediastress positief gerelateerd aan slaaplatentie en slaperigheid overdag. Wanneer socialemediagebruik en socialemediastress gezamenlijk werden onderzocht, bleek socialemediagebruik echter geen significante voorspeller meer te zijn naast socialemediastress. De longitudinale bevindingen lieten zien dat socialemediastress ook longitudinaal positief samenhangt met slaaplatentie en slaperigheid overdag, maar dit gold alleen voor meisjes. De resultaten benadrukken dat het naast de frequentie van socialemediagebruik belangrijk is om te kijken naar ervaringen van socialemediagebruik.

Abstract

There are concerns that social media use and social media stress may disrupt sleep. However, evidence is limited. Therefore this study examines the cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships between social media use, social media stress and sleep (i. e. sleep latency and daytime sleepiness) in adolescents. In total, 1,441 adolescents aged 11 to 15 (51% boys) filled in a survey in at least one of three waves. In a cross-sectional analysis, we found that social media use and social media stress were positively related to sleep latency and daytime sleepiness. However, when both social media use and social media stress were included, social media use was not a significant predictor. The longitudinal findings showed that social media stress was positively related to subsequent sleep latency and daytime sleepiness, but only among girls. Instead of concentrating on just the frequency of social media use, our findings stress that it is also important to focus on how adolescents perceive their social media use.
