Abstract
This mixed methods study describes the impact of smartphone use on the sleep routines of university students from one of three campuses, Irvine, Los Angeles, and Riverside, at Stanbridge University. Fourteen university students who attend Stanbridge University participated in this study. Semi-structured Zoom interviews, recording of sleep hours using Google Forms, the Occupational Self-Assessment Short Form (OSA-SF), and the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were utilized for data collection. Three main themes emerged from qualitative data analysis: (1) Sleep Preparation and Participation, (2) Mental Health, and (3) Self-Control. The findings of this study suggest that smartphone use has both positive and negative effects on one's sleep routines depending on what the phone was used for.
