Poor sleep quality is a concerning and prevalent consequence of social media addiction (SMA) and internet gaming disorder (IGD). Due to the lack of research examining how SMA and IGD lead to poor sleep quality, the current study aimed to understand the relationship between SMA and sleep quality, as well as that between IGD and sleep quality, through impulse control and bedtime procrastination. The study tested the hypotheses that higher levels of SMA and IGD would predict lower levels of impulse control, which would then predict higher levels of bedtime procrastination, leading to poorer sleep quality. A serial mediation analysis was performed with a sample of 221 participants (63.3% females, 34.4% males, and 2.3% prefer not to say) aged 18 to 53 years (M = 23.64, SD = 5.72). Participants completed questionnaires that assessed for social media addiction, internet gaming disorder, impulse control factor, bedtime procrastination, and sleep quality. There was a full serial mediation of impulse control and bedtime procrastination in the relationship between SMA and sleep quality, as well as that between IGD and sleep quality, providing support for the hypotheses. The findings provide the knowledge needed to develop and implement strategies that target impulse control issues and reduce bedtime procrastination to improve sleep quality.
睡眠质量差是社交媒体成瘾（SMA）和网络游戏障碍（IGD）的一个令人担忧且普遍的后果。由于缺乏研究来探讨 SMA 和 IGD 如何导致睡眠质量下降，本研究旨在通过冲动控制和就寝拖延来了解 SMA 和睡眠质量之间的关系，以及 IGD 和睡眠质量之间的关系。该研究检验了以下假设：较高水平的 SMA 和 IGD 预测冲动控制水平较低，这进而预测就寝拖延程度较高，导致睡眠质量较差。研究对 221 名参与者（63.3%为女性，34.4%为男性，2.3%为其他性别）进行了串行中介分析，年龄在 18 至 53 岁之间（M = 23.64，SD = 5.72）。参与者完成了评估社交媒体成瘾、网络游戏障碍、冲动控制因素、就寝拖延和睡眠质量的问卷。SMA 与睡眠质量之间以及 IGD 与睡眠质量之间的关系存在冲动控制和就寝拖延的完全串行中介，这为假设提供了支持。研究结果提供了开发和实施针对冲动控制问题并减少就寝拖延以改善睡眠质量的策略所需的知识。
