Why is it important?
Understanding these mediating factors could inform the development of targeted interventions and guidelines to promote healthy sleep habits and mitigate the negative effects of technology exposure in the ASD population.
Perspectives
These findings emphasize the necessity of establishing evidence-based interventions and guidelines to encourage healthy sleep habits and alleviate the adverse effects of smart technology use in individuals with ASD. By addressing this matter, we can promote enhanced sleep quality, which may have a ripple effect on overall well-being, behavior, and functioning within this vulnerable population.
