Research Question Does screen time in the hour before bed affect perceived sleep quality among college students?
Purpose To design an instrument to assess the perceived quality of sleep in college students in relation to their screen use in the hour before bed
Objectives • Identify previous research about sleep quality and screen time in college students • Develop an instrument to measure sleep quality and screen time in college students • Pilot test instrument on a small group of college students to determine its clarity and congruence with the purpose of the study • Determine necessary modifications of the instrument based on pilot test feedback • Present instrument development process to peers
