Teens Spending More Time On “Media” Than Sleeping!
A new report finds that teens age 13 to 18 spend almost nine hours a day – that’s longer than they usually sleep – on “entertainment media,” which includes things like checking out social media, music, gaming or online videos.
And that’s not including time spent using media for school or homework.
Tweens – those aged 10 to 12 – are not far behind, consuming about six hours of content.
The study also found that half of teens say they often or sometimes watch TV (51%), use social networking (50%), text (60%) and listen to music (76%) while doing homework.
