Design and Methods The study was conducted cross-sectionally with the online survey method. Finding In this study, it was determined that the students who played games for an average of ≥2 hours per day had later bedtime and later wake-up time, poorer sleep quality, and higher daytime sleepiness. It was found that as the level of game addiction increased, sleep quality decreased, the severity of daytime sleepiness increased, and the wake-up time shifted to a later time. Practice Implications Nurses should develop effective intervention strategies involving technology management and sleep hygiene studies to reduce game-playing time of students. CONFLICT OF INTERESTS The authors declare that there are no conflict of interests. Citing Literature Volume56, Issue4October 2020Pages 820-826 RelatedInformation
