Key variables were smartphone addiction, sleep duration, gender, and age.Results: According to the study results, the level of smartphone addiction among children significantly increased from 2018 to 2022, while sleep duration continuously decreased. A particularly strong negative relationship between smartphone addiction and sleep duration was found.Conclusion: These results suggest that smartphone addiction is strongly associated with sleep deprivation in children, emphasizing the need for policies and intervention measures to create a healthy sleep environment for children.Keywords: children, sleep duration, smartphone addiction, panel quantile regression analysis, problematic smartphone use, quality of life
