    So we all know that sleep is super important and that smart phones can impact sleep, but i wonder how much of the reported impact is because ofnsmart phones directly.

    I would expect that time and resource poor families are more likely to allow kids to have smart phones earlier to keep them occupied, and that being from a poorer family correlates with worse mental health and greater chance of obesity.

      Yep. I also hope that correlation v causation gets properly explored, I hope they do a critical discussion of their results and I also hope they properly contemplate any external influences.

      It’s easy to see results, it’s hard to properly parse them.
