We used a correlational research design Sleep disturbance was a common problem among adolescents, affecting up to 75% of this age group sleep disturbance can lead to a range of negative outcomes, including decreased academic performance increased risk of mental health problems and impaired cognitive function This study investigated the association between social networking addiction and sleep disturbance among adolescents aged 11 to 17.a sample of 60 adolescents completed standardized questionnaires assessing social networking addiction and sleep disturbance Data was analysed using Excel Sheet. The results showed the mean score (12.54) indicated moderate sleep disturbance and the mean score (81.98) suggested a moderate to high level of social networking addiction. the findings suggest that excessive social networking can interfere with sleep patterns, potentially leading to sleep- related problems and other negative outcomes and also contribute to our understanding of the complex relationships between social networking addiction and sleep disturbance and adolescent health.
