screens:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>30.

hours and 32 minutes<\/a> daily, and men the same age averaging 7 hours and 4 minutes, while users aged 55\u201364 spend much less, averaging around 5 hours and 17 minutes for women and 5 hours and 14

Millennials spend more than<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reviews.org\/internet-service\/internet-screen-time-statistics\/\"> six hours<\/a> daily on smartphones, plus another four hours watching TV, and they still manage to find time for gaming and computer use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>47.

Studies show that adolescents who spend more than<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mastermindbehavior.com\/post\/average-screen-time-statistics\"> 7 hours<\/a> a day on screens are over twice as likely to report feeling anxious or even depressed compared to peers who spend less time on screens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>49. There\u2019s also a clear link between screen time and<a href=\"https:\/\/explodingtopics.com\/blog\/screen-time-stats#impact-of-screen-time\"> obesity<\/a> among children between the ages of 5 and 17, which is likely due to the sedentary lifestyle that comes with long hours of screen use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>50. In the UK, research found that children aged 9 to 10 who spend over<a href=\"https:\/\/explodingtopics.com\/blog\/screen-time-stats#impact-of-screen-time\"> 3 hours<\/a> a day on screens were more likely to show signs of insulin resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>51. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brighamandwomens.org\/about-bwh\/newsroom\/press-releases-detail?id=1962\">HMS researchers<\/a> have shown that using devices with blue light, like <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/mobile-marketing-stats\/\">smartphones<\/a>, before bedtime can mess with sleep patterns by lowering melatonin levels, which is the hormone that helps you fall asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;:\n\t\t\t\t{ &quot;image&quot;:\n\t\t\t\t\t{   &quot;imageLoaded&quot;:
