Are Sleep Disorders Increasing in Gen Alpha Due to Screen Timing?

[Shree]

Late-night exposure to bright screens disrupts sleep cycles for many kids. Some develop insomnia, night waking or groggy mornings. How can adults tell the difference between typical sleep habits and early sleep disorder patterns? What routines actually help?

Yes, sleep disorders seem to be increasing in Gen Alpha, and excessive screen time, especially before bed, plays a big role. Blue light delays melatonin production, and stimulating content makes winding down harder. Habit changes, consistent routines, and screen limits before bedtime can help improve sleep patterns in younger children.
