Direct exposure to traumatic events often precipitates sleep disorders. Sleep disturbance has also been observed amongst those indirectly exposed to trauma, via mass media. However, previous work has focused on traditional media use, rather than contemporary social media. We tested associations between both traditional and social media consumption and insomnia symptoms following 2015 terror attacks in Paris France, controlling for location and post-traumatic symptomology. 1878 respondents, selected to represent the national French population, completed an internet survey a month after the Bataclan attacks (response rate 72%). Respondents indicated different media use, post-traumatic stress and insomnia. Controlling for demographics, location and PTSD, insomnia was associated with both traditional (β 0.10, P = .001) and social media use (β 0.12, P = .001). Associations between social media and insomnia were independent of traditional media use. Interventions targeted at social media may be particularly important following mass trauma.
直接暴露于创伤性事件通常会引发睡眠障碍。通过大众媒体，那些间接地接触到创伤的人也会出现睡眠障碍。然而，之前的工作主要集中在传统媒体的使用上，而不是当代社交媒体。我们测试了 2015 年法国巴黎恐怖袭击事件后，传统媒体和社交媒体的使用与失眠症状之间的关联，同时控制了地点和创伤后症状。1878 名受访者被选中代表法国全国人口，在巴塔克兰袭击事件发生一个月后完成了一项互联网调查（回应率为 72%）。受访者表示，不同的媒体使用、创伤后应激和失眠。在控制人口统计学、地点和创伤后应激障碍后，失眠与传统媒体使用（β 0.10，P=0.001）和社交媒体使用（β 0.12，P=0.001）均相关。社交媒体和失眠之间的关联独立于传统媒体的使用。针对社交媒体的干预措施在大规模创伤后可能尤为重要。
