Zusammenfassung

Die vorliegende Arbeit gibt eine Übersicht über die Zusammenhänge von Medienkonsum und Schlaf bei Kindern und Jugendlichen. Bei dem Großteil der verfügbaren Studien handelt es sich um Querschnittsuntersuchungen, von denen die Mehrheit einen signifikant negativen Zusammenhang zwischen Medienkonsum und Schlafqualität feststellen konnte. Experimentelle Studien, die Aufschluss über kausale Zusammenhänge geben könnten, sind jedoch bislang kaum vorhanden. Anhand der vorliegenden Ergebnisse werden mögliche Gründe und Folgen der Beeinträchtigung von Schlaf durch Fernsehen, Computer- und Internetnutzung sowie Handygebrauch zusammengefasst und diskutiert. In Anbetracht der Aktualität des Themas besteht weiterer Forschungsbedarf, um Eltern und die Öffentlichkeit zu sensibilisieren und um wissenschaftlich fundierte Ratschläge geben zu können.

Abstract

This article provides an overview of the current literature on the relationships between media consumption and sleep in children and adolescents. To date, the majority of studies are cross-sectional studies reporting a significant negative correlation between media consumption and the quality of sleep. Interventional studies further investigating the cause–effect chain are rare. Potential reasons and consequences of sleep disruptions are reviewed and discussed. Given the high prevalence of media consumption in children and adolescents, future studies are needed to increase awareness in parents and society at large and to provide advice and guidance on acceptable amounts of media consumption.
