The "Fear of Missing Out" (FoMO) is a significant mediator. Przybylski et al. (2013) defined FoMO as a pervasive apprehension that others might be having rewarding experiences from which one is absent. Adolescents with high levels of FoMO are compelled to check social media more frequently, often passively, to monitor the activities of peers. This constant state of vigilance contributes to sleep disruption and anxiety.
