The average screen time for teens ranges from 7 to 9 hours daily, including smartphones, tablets, computers, and TVs. Excessive screen time can impact sleep, focus, and mental health. Experts recommend balancing digital use with physical activity, hobbies, and face-to-face social interactions to promote healthy development and well-being.

The average screen time for teens (about 13–18 yrs old) is roughly 7 to 9 hours per day across devices like phones, tablets, computers, and TVs. That includes social media, videos, games, and other digital media and accounts for a large part of their waking hours.
