Sleep disorder is a condition that may be very damaging and may be related to poor mental health and low academic performance. The causes of sleep disorder had been interest of many researches for decades, however not a realistic solution could be found until today. Do new scientific improvements and new software do good to our dentistry students or does it do bad? Should we put a restriction to Social Media usage like WhatsApp group messages and night-time Smartphone use? Does Social Media effect students sleep and their academic performance? To understand this we had to deliver a research study in Cyprus Health and Social Sciences University dentistry students. Although there are lots of research studies about sleep disorder and social media, there were not any studies delivered in Cyprus. WhatsApp groups are widely used in Cyprus Health and Sciences University for academic purposes like information sharing and social life communications. Sleep performance of students is closely related to their success. A detailed literature review is done about Sleep Disorder and Social Media Effects on Sleep Disorder. A Good sleep is important for all students and may be it is more important for dentistry students who have a very intense course schedule than the other students. Sleep Disorder Questionarie and Social Media Addiction Questionnaire is used to get information about students Sleep- Social Media Behaviors. In total 150 students have attained to this research study and there were interesting differences according to students demographic properties. Recommendations to improve quality of sleep and to prevent social media addiction is given by the authors. | Keywords
