| contents | Gender differences were examined in sensitivity to sleep quality, in the context of blue light exposure from smartphones. Our hypothesis was created based on our journal article findings that females are more prone to be inclined to the prolonged usage of smartphones at bedtime and thus had less quality of sleep than males. The theory that usage affects sleep quality was due to the belief that the blue light emanating from the smartphone screen would disrupt our body natural circadian rhythm, or sleep cycle, due to the blue light ability to block a hormone called melatonin that controls and aids sleep. However, upon conducting regression tests and statistical analysis on our dataset, we found that our hypothesis was incorrect. Our dataset and analysis showed no relationship between smartphone usage and sleep quality in both males and females in young adults. |
