(Co)existence with a Smartphone in the Student Population

The aim of the research was to investigate the attitudes and reflections of students studying at universities in Croatia, with regard to their field of study, on the frequency and reasons for using smartphones. The research was conducted on a sample of 267 university students in the Republic of Croatia. A total of 85% of respondents in all fields of science use a smartphone just before going to bed. During the night, 26.9% of all respondents wake up to the sound of notifications on their smartphones ; most of them study natural sciences. A total of 8.3% of respondents do not use a smartphone as an alarm clock, while it is mostly used as an alarm clock by respondents from the field of interdisciplinary sciences. When they wake up during the night, 16.2% of respondents browse content on a smartphone, and this is mostly done by respondents from the field of natural sciences. A total of 43% of respondents feel tired in the morning. By reducing the time spent on smartphones, individuals could use the extra time in many others ways (exercise, walking, socializing without using smartphones and other activities) which would have a positive impact on their overall health and well-being!
