The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the lives of many. In particular, during the height of the pandemic, many experienced lockdowns, which in turn increased screen time drastically. While the pandemic has been declared an endemic and most activities have been reinstated, there appears to still be elevated screen time among adolescents due to poor habits formed during the pandemic lockdowns. This paper explores the factors by which screen time affects well-being among adolescents and how the pandemic may have influenced some of these factors. For example, beyond having greater screen time, many adolescents have also reduced their physical activities and picked up poor sleeping habits. These findings highlight the importance of having integrated activity guidelines that go beyond limiting adolescents' daily screen time. It is important to affirm that beyond ensuring that adolescents limit their daily screen time, they are also meeting physical activity and sleep guidelines so that they achieve a holistic sense of wellbeing.
新冠疫情扰乱了许多人的生活。特别是在疫情最严重的时候，许多人经历了封锁，这反过来又大幅增加了屏幕使用时间。虽然疫情已被宣布为地方性流行病，大多数活动也已恢复，但由于疫情封锁期间养成的不良习惯，青少年的屏幕使用时间似乎仍然居高不下。本文探讨了屏幕使用时间影响青少年幸福感的因素，以及疫情可能如何影响了其中一些因素。例如，除了有更多的屏幕使用时间外，许多青少年还减少了体育活动，养成了不良的睡眠习惯。这些发现凸显了制定综合活动指南的重要性，这些指南不仅仅是限制青少年的每日屏幕使用时间。必须确认，除了确保青少年限制每日屏幕使用时间外，他们还应符合体育活动和睡眠指南，以便获得整体的幸福感。
