Episode Details

New research reveals that over half of teens spend at least an hour scrolling on their phones between 10 PM and 6 AM on school nights—directly sabotaging their sleep. With recommended sleep hours ranging from eight to ten, this habit, often called “doomscrolling,” undermines learning, memory, mood, and mental health. Experts warn it heightens risks for depression and anxiety, impairs decision-making, and reduces stress resilience. To fix it, parents should remove phones from bedrooms, enforce consistent routines, and swap phone alarms for traditional ones—breaking the cycle and restoring healthier teen sleep habits.
