The students who used technology right before bed reported a lower quality sleep. The difference in sleep quality averages were drastic enough that this study is statistically significant ]]> 2018-11-09 15:17:53 UTC https://padlet.com/elall336/fdkvlsrp49rw/wish/302603519 elall336 https://padlet.com/elall336/fdkvlsrp49rw/wish/302605080 This study could be replicated by generating 100 more students to partake in the experiment.

The results of the replicated experiment also showed that when less technology is used before bed, a higher quality sleep is received. After finding these results many parents and schools encourage students to lessen technology use before sleeping in order to feel more rested and ]]> 2018-11-14 14:38:10 UTC https://padlet.com/elall336/fdkvlsrp49rw/wish/304305525
