Mobile devices (smartphones and tablet computers) have become widely prevalent due to rapid improvements in function and decreasing costs. As of 2014, 90 % of US adults have a mobile phone, with 58 % having a smartphone, 32 % owning some type of e-reader, and 42 % of US adults owning a tablet computer. Mobile devices are particularly well-suited for the study of common conditions such as sleep difficulties because of their ubiquity. Around 35 to 49 % of the US adult population have problems falling asleep or have daytime sleepiness. These sleep disorders are often under-recognized because of patient-physician communication difficulties, low rates of medical awareness resulting in underreporting of insomnia symptoms, and limited primary care physician (PCP) training in insomnia recognition. Mobile devices have the potential to bridge some of these gaps, but they can also lead to sleep difficulties when used inappropriately.
由于功能的快速提升和成本的降低，移动设备（智能手机和平板电脑）已变得广泛普及。截至2014年，90%的美国成年人拥有手机，其中58%拥有智能手机，32%拥有某种类型的电子阅读器，42%的美国成年人拥有平板电脑。移动设备因其无处不在的特性，特别适合用于研究诸如睡眠困难等常见病症。大约35%至49%的美国成年人口存在入睡困难或日间嗜睡问题。由于医患沟通困难、医学认知率低导致失眠症状报告不足，以及初级保健医生（PCP）在失眠识别方面的培训有限，这些睡眠障碍往往未得到充分认识。移动设备有潜力弥合其中一些差距，但如果使用不当，也可能导致睡眠困难。
