Majority of college-age people own numerous electronic devices at the same time, and smartphone ownership is almost universal. Excessive device checking patterns were linked to a higher risk of mental health disorders. The goal of the study is to find out how common and what kinds of gadgets college students use, how long they use them for, how often they use them, and why they use them. It seeks to evaluate how using a device affects a number of aspects of quality of life, such as academic achievement, social relationships, physical and mental health, and general life satisfaction. We invited college students to fill out a questionnaire via Google form composed 23 questions, each with a maximum of 4 answer options, about their perception of their usage of electronic gadgets. A number of health problems, such as disturbed sleep patterns, poor academic performance, obesity, eye strain, musculoskeletal disorders, and mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and behavioral changes, are clearly linked to excessive screen time, according to the body of research. There is an urgent need for awareness, parental guidance, and institutional interventions due to the incidence of sleep difficulties, decreased physical activity, and increasing screen dependency disorder. Implementing comprehensive measures involving families, schools, healthcare practitioners, and legislators is essential to reducing these negative effects.
