Overnight users are also more likely to report symptoms of depression and anxiety, researchers found.
As a result they took to platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to assess overnight usage, as measured by the time that people posted.
Some 310 people were chosen to be involved in the study based on the timing of their tweets and when they answered questionnaires about their wellbeing.
The study found that people who, on average, tweeted through the night from 11 pm to 5 am appeared to have “meaningfully worse mental wellbeing than those who tweeted during the daytime”.
The team highlighted how nighttime use of social media “could displace sleep” as people stay awake to use it.
“All these factors may combine to delay sleep onset, and lead to worse sleep quality and quantity, they wrote in the journal Scientific Reports.”
Daniel Joinson, doctoral researcher at the University of Bristol and lead author of the paper, said: “Whilst social media is often treated like a monolith, its impact on mental health will depend on the exact behaviours the user performs and the experiences they have on these platforms.”
“Research like ours could help inform interventions or legislation that aim to deter harmful social media use, whilst enabling beneficial behaviours or experiences.”- BERNAMA-PA MEDIA/dpa
