Digital Addiction, Sleep Quality and Orexin-A Level

This study aims to determine the level of digital addiction in university students where technology use is quite common, and to evaluate the relationship between digital addiction and orexin and sleep quality.

The main question it aims to answer is:

* Are digital addiction trainings given to students effective on digital addiction levels? * Are digital addiction trainings given to students effective on sleep quality? * Is there a relationship between digital addiction level and orexin-A peptide?

About this study

The changes experienced in technology along with the developing world also bring about major changes in the lives of individuals. It is seen that technology is present in every aspect of life, especially the internet that enables widespread communication and the use of the tools and equipment developed accordingly is rapidly increasing especially in the young age group. It is stated that digital addiction is spreading very rapidly throughout the world and has many negative consequences on the daily life and health of the individual. Many health problems such as personality disorders, violence, increase in aggressive behavior, disruptions in the sleep-wake cycle, anxiety, and depression are associated with digital addiction. Orexins are hypothalamic neuropeptides that play a role in the regulation of many complex behaviors such as nutrition, sleep, and wakefulness. In recent studies, it is thought that orexin can cause behavioral addictions. Orexin plays a role in both the early and late stages of the addiction mechanism.
