It is widely known that the use of social media affects mental health, but a new, three-year study has found that it is the lack of sleep from its use and the psychological distress caused by cyberbullying via the platforms that are the main reasons affecting one’s state of mind, more than use of the actual apps. P. Girls who were checking social media also reported to be less happy and more anxious; however, boys didn’t report the same feelings. Q. In girls, the researchers said, the negative effects were due to disrupted sleep, cyberbullying and to some extent, lack of exercise. R. Researchers found that girls and boys who checked social media sites more than thrice a day had poorer mental health and greater psychological distress. S. In boys, the same three factors — disrupted sleep, cyberbullying, lack of exercise — had an effect too, but it was much smaller. 6. Dr Dasha Nicholls, from Imperial College London, who was also involved in the study added, “It’s not the amount of social media, per se, it’s when it displaces real-life contact and activities. It’s about getting a balance.”
