Abstract
The cell phone has become an indispensable technological device for the 21st-century individual, however, its use and abuse are having repercussions on people's mental and physical health. This article presents the results of a research study whose main objective was to determine the relationship between nocturnal cell phone use and boredom. To achieve this objective, a correlational, cross-sectional, and non-experimental study was carried out through the application of a survey of 199 people from the city of Durango, Mexico. The results show five significant correlations that allow us to affirm that: the greater the boredom: a) the longer the time of nighttime use of the cell phone, b) more purchases are made online and more music is downloaded or listened to, and c) more use is made of the social networks TikTok and Instagram. These results are considered indicative for two reasons: 1) because the measurement of nighttime cell phone use is in an early stage with serious content and/or conceptual validity problems, and 2) because the sample used was non-probabilistic and determined by the accessibility and availability of potential respondents.
