20 minutes seems like kind of a small impact.

To finish that sentence:

An hour seems like kind of a big impact.

“ sleep. On average, they were falling asleep 20 minutes faster than before the ban, and reported getting a full hour of extra rest each night. ”
An hour of extra rest does seem significant. Also averages without standard deviations are yucky.

#6I found a couple interesting papers/preprints on smartphone bans:
- https://www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/14/8/906
- https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4735240
But I wasn't able to find a detailed writeup of this particular experiment (It seems to be more of a TV show than a scientific study?)

4% is a pretty big lift imo
And who knows how good it is for the quality of that sleep

20 mins is actually pretty big. The difference between chronically sleeping 20 minutes less than you need, and always getting the rest you need really does add up quite significantly, especially when it comes to learning and the ability to pay attention.

#9Forcing every adult to exercise 30 minutes a day would probably also have positive health outcomes. But would that be a good enough reason to introduce such a policy?

It would be almost impossible to enforce.
School smartphone ban has an obvious way to be enforced since it gives teachers the ability to do what they've wanted to do all along.
