Abstract
Sleep disturbance (e.g., insomnia) and hygiene variables (e.g., electronics use) were measured in 891 adolescents to predict academic achievement and investment. Results demonstrated sleep disturbances were associated with lower achievement and more frequent usage of electronics predicted both lower GPA’s, and lower levels of academic investment.
