    The document discusses a theoretical framework called the Compensatory Internet Use Theory which suggests that stressful life events increase internet use to block out unpleasant emotions. It also discusses how smartphone use before bed can negatively impact sleep quality by disrupting melatonin production. The framework is used to determine the relationship between smartphone use and sleep quality among grade 12 students.

    Theoretical Framework

    This research study focuses on the relationship between smartphone use of


    grade 11 HE students in Isabel National Comprehensive School. This research study is
    anchored by Compensatory Internet use Theory of Kardefelt- Witner, 2014.
    According to Compensatory Internet Use Theory. It uses the internet as a stand-
    in for something that is required but inaccessible. Therefore, stressful life events will
    increase the likelihood that people may turn to activities like internet browsing to block
    out their unpleasant emotions. In addition, given its widespread use, excessive internet
    use is a problem that needs to be addressed because it has been linked to several
    psychopathologies, including anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation, as well as
    increased procrastination, disrupted sleep, stress, and feelings of isolation and
    loneliness (Akbari et al., 2021). Moreover, according to (Young, 2013). Internet addiction
    is often defined as a condition in which a person has lost control over their internet use
    and continues to use it excessively to the point that it has detrimental effects on their
    lives. Examples of such effects include situations where people have skipped meals or
    lost sleep as a result of spending time online, or where using the internet has led to
    arguments with family members, issues at work, or the termination of a career.
    In addition, according to (Cooper, 2016). Regarding the theory, two or more
    hours of screen use in the evening can substantially disturb the melatonin spike
    required for sleep. Moreover, cell phones, tablets, readers, and computers that have
    backlights emit short-wavelength increased light, also referred to as blue light. In
    addition, it emits blue light, which has been demonstrated to inhibit or delay the
    melatonin body's natural production in the evening and lessen sensations of feeling
    sleepy (Truong, 2023).
    The Compensatory Internet Use Theory is what stated above helps student to
    learn and acquire knowledge in what are the effects of the smartphone use in their
    sleep quality. It aims to determine the relationship between smartphone use and sleep
    quality among Grade 12 HE students in Isabel National Comprehensive School.
