Social media damages children's mental health by ruining sleep, reducing their exercise levels and exposing them to cyberbullies in their homes, the first major study has shown.

Parents and health experts have long-suspected that spending hours on sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram is having a negative impact on youngsters, raising levels of anxiety and depression.

Now a major study of nearly 10,000 teenagers by University College London (UCL) and Imperial College London, has found that using sites multiple times a day increases the risk of psychological distress by around 40 per cent, compared to logging on weekly or less.

For girls, the harmful effect was driven primarily by online bullying, and also preventing them engaging in protective activities like sleeping well and exercising. The researchers said they were less sure why boys were affected.

Study leader Professor Russell Viner, of UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, said parents should keep screens out bedrooms to avoid disrupting sleep and encourage their children to get enough exercise and spend time with friends in person.

"Young people's use of social media and smartphones is an ongoing concern for today's parents," he said. "We found no convincing evidence that social media is harmful in and of itself.
