Summary
This study will examine whether using phones, tablets, or laptops before sleep is linked to poor posture and balance problems in healthy adults aged 18 to 35. Researchers will ask participants about their screen habits and then measure their body alignment and dynamic balance using standard tests. The goal is to understand if pre-sleep screen time is a risk factor for musculoskeletal issues.
