The findings obtained indicate that, although sometimes the smartphone becomes a means to avoid
loneliness, most of the participants presented a habitual user pattern linked to other users or
networks. Based on the results, it seems that girls are more affected by the problem. The study was
carried out among the Post Graduate Students of Sacred Heart College, Tirupattur. Although these
are convenient and useful, teenagers are becoming more and more dependent on them. Aims and
Objective: This study was designed to assess the mobile phone usage pattern and its negative effects
on psychological health, sleep, and academic performance in students of a medical university. The
phone can be interpreted as a tool that provides access (for each function or application) to the
object of addiction. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study was conducted on a total of 1,000
medical students aged between 17 and 24 years who were using mobile phone for at least 1 year. In
addition, 59% of students use the internet with their phone. 50 % of the students stated that they
check their mobiles at least every 15 minutes. With the help of phones, music, games, social
networking sites and online gambling can be accessed immediately, which can facilitate the
development of addiction. Smartphone addiction is not specific to a certain cultural, social,
economic or educational background. Devices also offer many additional features beyond keeping
contact with others. However, addiction as a “dark side” of this technology use has been described,
and multiple psychological scales for the determination of this addiction’s severity have been
created. Positive correlations were found between the overuse of smartphone Scale scores and many
disturbances in students' sleep habits. Namun, kerana mereka masih tidak yakin dan juga bergabung

employment rates of this group, means that their use is sometimes labelled as dependent and
addictive. The finding also proved that students with poor sleep quality might exhibit low academic
performance. Total time spent on mobile phones was significantly (p o 0.05) associated with waking
time tiredness and difficulty in waking up and highly significantly (p o 0.001) with decline in study
habits, increase in missed classes, and going late for classes. According to the results of the
experimental method, it has been evaluated that students have less movement and less learning
achievement on the days they use smart mobile phone. Risk factors for smart phones addiction
development have been detected in epidemiological trials: female gender, high anxiety level,
insomnia, Internet use, alcohol use, low self-esteem, low self-control, and sensation-seeking. They
can be considered as status symbols, their possession can create a sense of security, our social needs
can be met with their help, as well as they provide entertainment. Smartphone addiction was found to
be associated with sleep quality where overusing smartphones was related to poor sleep quality in
univer. The purpose of this paper is to summarize and analyze the results of research that have been
made on young people's smartphone use. Applications for monitorisation of the smartphone use have
been created, in order to help a clinician to verify th. High frequency cell phone users tended to have
lower GPA, higher anxiety, and lower Satisfaction with Life. According to the results of research, 71
% of students use the smart types of mobile phones. A validated, anonymous data collection sheet
was used. The data were processed with the statistical analysis program SPSS version 25, with which
a descriptive study was carried out. SPSS was used as a tool of analysis for descriptive and
inferential analysis. Journal of Technology in Behavioral Science, in press.

been created. The study presented quantitative research on 323 students in a public university in
Sabah to explore the relationship between smartphone addiction, sleep quality, and academic
performance. Based on the results, it seems that girls are more affected by the problem. Therefore,
