TI  - Insomnia symptoms among Greek adolescent students with excessive computer use.
PG  - 203-7
AB  - BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study is to assess the intensity of computer 
      use and insomnia epidemiology among Greek adolescents, to examine any possible 
      age and gender differences and to investigate whether excessive computer use is a 
      risk factor for developing insomnia symptoms. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 
      Cross-sectional study of a stratified sample of 2195 high school students. 
      Demographic data were recorded and two specific questionnaires were used, the 
      Adolescent Computer Addiction Test (ACAT) and the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS). 
      RESULTS: Females scored higher than males on insomnia complaints but lower on 
      computer use and addiction. A dosemediated effect of computer use on insomnia 
      complaints was recorded. Computer use had a larger effect size than sex on 
      insomnia complaints. Duration of computer use was longer for those adolescents 
      classified as suffering from insomnia compared to those who were not. 
      CONCLUSIONS: Computer use can be a significant cause of insomnia complaints in an 
      adolescent population regardless of whether the individual is classified as 
      addicted or not.
