Abstract

Excessive gadget use among adolescents can affect sleep habits and rest quality. This study aims to determine the relationship between gadget use and sleep patterns among adolescents at PGRI 2 Denpasar High School. The research design used was quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 145 respondents were selected using sampling techniques. The research instruments consisted of a questionnaire on gadget use (duration and frequency) and a questionnaire on sleep patterns (sleeping hours, sleep quality, and sleep disturbances). The data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank test to see the relationship between the two variables. The results showed that most respondents used gadgets for more than 2.5 hours per day, especially at night before bedtime. The respondents' sleep patterns were good, with 6-8 hours of sleep per night, and there were complaints of fatigue due to lack of sleep. The Spearman Rank test results showed a significant relationship between the duration of use and the pattern, with a p-value of 0.001 (α = 0.005) with a correlation coefficient value of -0.270, indicating a weak but significant negative relationship. The results of the frequency of gadget use showed a correlation coefficient value of 0.127 with a p-value of 0.129, indicating a weak positive relationship between the frequency of gadget use and sleep patterns.Keywords: Gadgets, Sleep Patterns, Adolescents, High School, Denpasar
