Screendemic: The Hidden Crisis of Chronic Sleep Deprivation in Children

Today, our children are plugged in more than ever before, and this constant screen exposure is quietly taking a heavy toll—especially on their sleep. As parents, you might notice your child's tired eyes, crankiness, or difficulty concentrating, but the true impact runs deeper.

Chronic sleep deprivation isn’t just about feeling tired—it compromises your child's immune system, cognitive development, emotional stability, and academic performance. Excessive screen time, especially before bed, disrupts sleep patterns by interfering with melatonin production, making it harder for children to fall asleep and stay asleep. Over time, this can lead to chronic issues such as mood swings, impaired learning, and even long-term health problems.

Dr. Ude, a dedicated paediatrician with special interest in Epilepsy and Neurology, will unveil the shocking truths about this silent epidemic and how it’s affecting your child's growth, mood, and future.
