There is limited evidence surrounding the relationship between parent-set technology rules and adolescent sleep. This study had two aims: 1) to investigate the relationship between presence of and compliance to parent-set technology rules and adolescent sleep outcomes and daytime sleepiness; 2) to investigate if compliance, non-compliance, or the absence of rules could moderate the relationship between Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) and Bedtime Procrastination (BtP) on sleep outcomes and daytime sleepiness. A total of 711 adolescents aged 12-18 years old (46% Female, = 15.1, = 1.2) were recruited through secondary schools in South Australia. Participants completed a survey containing self-report measures about their sleep, daytime sleepiness, FoMO, BtP, the presence/absence of technology rules in their house, and their compliance to these rules. The study design was cross sectional. Results indicated that the presence of a parent-set technology rule was associated with earlier bedtimes regardless of compliance. Earlier lights out times and increased sleep duration were observed in adolescents who always complied to their rules compared to those who did not comply or did not have parent-set technology rules. BtP and FoMO were associated with later bedtimes, later lights out times, longer sleep onset latency, shorter sleep duration, and more daytime sleepiness. However, parent-set rules did not moderate the links between BtP/FoMO and adolescent sleep. Whilst longitudinal investigations are warranted to examine the directionality of these relationships, the present study suggests that parent-set technology rules may play an important role in protecting adolescent sleep.
关于父母制定的技术规则与青少年睡眠之间的关系，现有证据有限。本研究有两个目的：1）调查父母制定的技术规则的存在及遵守情况与青少年睡眠结果和日间嗜睡之间的关系；2）调查遵守、不遵守或没有规则是否会调节错失恐惧（FoMO）和就寝拖延（BtP）对睡眠结果和日间嗜睡的关系。通过南澳大利亚的中学招募了711名12至18岁的青少年（46%为女性，平均年龄=15.1岁，标准差=1.2岁）。参与者完成了一项调查，其中包含关于他们的睡眠、日间嗜睡、错失恐惧、就寝拖延、家中技术规则的存在/缺失以及他们对这些规则的遵守情况的自我报告测量。研究设计为横断面研究。结果表明，无论是否遵守，父母制定的技术规则的存在都与更早的就寝时间有关。与不遵守或没有父母制定的技术规则的青少年相比，始终遵守规则的青少年熄灯时间更早，睡眠时间更长。就寝拖延和错失恐惧与更晚的就寝时间、更晚的熄灯时间、更长的入睡潜伏期、更短的睡眠时间以及更多的日间嗜睡有关。然而，父母制定的规则并没有调节就寝拖延/错失恐惧与青少年睡眠之间的联系。虽然需要进行纵向研究来检验这些关系的方向性，但本研究表明，父母制定的技术规则可能在保护青少年睡眠方面发挥重要作用。
