Interrupted Sleep: College Students Sleeping with Technology | Elizabeth B. Dowdell | TEDxVillanovaU

Elizabeth B. Dowdell, PhD, RN, FAAN, a professor in the M. Louise Fitzpatrick College of Nursing at Villanova University, has made significant and sustained contributions as a nursing researcher and advocate for vulnerable children, particularly children who have experienced significant trauma or display high-risk behaviors. Her pioneering research has explored the interrelationships among various forms of electronic aggression, including “cyber-bullying” and “sexting” to inform policy on strategies for protecting children and adolescents from Internet-associated hazards. Her talk, titled "Interrupted Sleep: College Students Sleeping with Technology," explores how sleeping with technology can interfere with human well-being, specifically focusing on the phenomenon of sleep texting as a timely example. She considers how the development of smart phones changed the way we use technology; before it was a tool for information but now it is used as a device to tell the world who we are. Elizabeth B.
