Problematic Media Use Linked to Sleep Disturbances in Children With Bedwetting
Summary: Does your child struggle with bedwetting and sleep? Their screen time might be the sneaky culprit. A new study looked at 186 kids, ages 6 to 12, who wet the bed. Researchers found that children who spend too much time on screens—especially those online for more than five hours a day—have a much harder time falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking up. Doctors suggest that limiting screen time and creating a good bedtime routine could be a helpful extra step in managing bedwetting.
