Study finds teenagers sleep better when cut off from social media

Teenagers slept more, reported lower stress and concentrated better at school when deprived of social media, the Telegraph reported.

The finding comes from an experiment described by Charles Hymas, the paper's Home Affairs editor.

The article summarises the result as short-term behavioural changes in sleep, stress levels and classroom focus following restricted access to social platforms.

The report presents the experiment as evidence that social-media use can influence adolescent wellbeing and attention, without offering broader causal claims beyond the study's scope.
