The mean amount of money spent by the students to purchase internet connection per month is Rs.290.30. There was significant negative linear correlation between the estimated daily time spent on the internet (μ=3.59, SD=3.51) and time spent on studies (μ=4.38, SD=2.5) (r = -0.107, p=0.016); and time of continuous night sleep (μ=7.07, SD=1.39) (r= -0.237, p |
