Abstract

As an important indicator and influencing factor of children's physical and mental state, sleep plays a crucial role in children's healthy development.With electronic screen becoming one of the main sources of information spread in daily life, there are constant reports of possible effects of excessive screen exposure on sleep during childhood.This study reviewed the specific effects and mechanisms of electronic screen exposure on sleep in children, summarized relevant principles and intervention methods, thereby identifying and intervening the sleep problems related to electronic screen exposure earlier, and providing clues for further clinical and basic researches on the effects of electronic screen on sleep in Chinese children.
