Interesting research showing bedtime procrastination in insomnia frequently functions as emotion regulation, indicating that smartphone use plays a purposeful role rather than being merely a behaviour to avoid. @jakketamminen.bsky.social @alice-gregory.bsky.social academic.oup.com/sleepadvance...

New meta‑analysis finds 46.9% of undergrads report insomnia symptoms, nearly half! From chats with fellow PhD students, postgrads don’t seem to sleep much better either. @alice-gregory.bsky.social @jakketamminen.bsky.social academic.oup.com/sleepadvance...
