  1. Impact of Short-Form Videos on Screentime and Sleep: Evidence from TikTok

    Agarwal, S.; Ananthakrishnan, U. M.
    Management Science (INFORMS)

    Researchers looked at phone records of about 7,000 people in the United States before and after they started using TikTok. Heavy users spent more total time on their phones afterwards, much of it late at night, and went to bed later and slept somewhat less. People who used TikTok lightly showed no change.
