Researchers from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia found that while age 13 is safer, smartphone use at this age still poses risks, particularly for sleep health. Previous findings indicated higher odds of poor sleep, depression, and obesity for 12-year-olds who acquired smartphones. The risk of poor sleep, depression, or obesity more than doubles for children spending over five hours daily on their phones compared to two hours or less. Experts recommend setting daily limits on smartphone use and keeping devices out of children's bedrooms at night to mitigate potential health issues.
