Existing research emphasizes that elevated symptom levels of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are linked not to the extent (time) of usage but to its addictive nature. However, scant research has explored its relationship with sleep quality. Objectives In this study, we scrutinized the correlation between problematic social media usage, sleep quality, and ADHD symptoms in a non-clinical sample of young individuals during the third wave of the pandemic.

The survey encompassed various assessments, including the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS), the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), and the self-report version of the SWAN scale (Strengths and Weaknesses of ADHD Symptoms and Normal Behavior). Participants also reported on the extent of their social media use.
