MedPage Today (8/31, George) reports, “Fear of being out of mobile phone contact – known as nomophobia (no mobile phone phobia) – was extremely common among college students and was tied to poor sleep health,” investigators concluded in a study that “recruited 327 university students.” The study revealed that “nine out of 10 university students had moderate or severe nomophobia, which was linked to greater daytime sleepiness, avolition, and poorer sleep hygiene.” The findings were presented at the virtual SLEEP 2020, a joint meeting of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society.
