Sleep is an essential part of life, and the quality and quantity of a person’s nightly sleep has wide-ranging impacts on cognition, behavior, and health. On this episode of Screen Deep, host Kris Perry discusses children and teens’ sleep and its relationship to digital media with Dr. Lauren Hale, Professor of Family, Population, and Preventative Medicine at Stony Brook University and Founding Editor in Chief of the Sleep Health Journal.

Lauren provides an overview of research into the impacts of digital media on teens’ sleep, including a 2024 scientific consensus panel that evaluated how different aspects of digital device use impact sleep. She also discusses the societal implications of teens’ poor sleep health, and the policy changes that could improve them.
