Households may increase spending on sleep solutions (mattresses, supplements, apps) and mental health services. Parents may reduce children's device purchases or seek alternative entertainment, affecting tech sector. Educational costs could rise if academic performance declines, requiring tutoring or intervention services.
Potential regulatory responses include screen time guidelines in schools, restrictions on device marketing to children, mandatory blue-light filters on devices, and public health campaigns. Education policies may shift toward reduced digital learning. Healthcare systems may need to address increased child mental health and sleep disorder diagnoses.
