Select the correct answer. There are risks associated with having access to screen time as an adolescent. Studies show that those who are
exposed to screens for higher amounts of time have a greater risk of sleep disruptions. The blue light from the
devices can affect melatonin levels, which results in delayed or disrupted sleep patterns. School performance

include headaches and poor posture. Due to eye strain while using devices, adolescents may encounter
headaches with excessive screen use.
