This paper examines the impact and consequences of using late-night technology on sleep quality and academic engagement of college students. With the rise of digital technology, late-night internet usage has become a common practice among college students, which has a direct impact on their sleep quality and academic performance. The study used multiple methods including qualitative interviews to learn more about the experiences and different viewpoints of college students with the help of questionnaires to evaluate the relationship between late-night technology usage and sleep quality along with its impact on academic engagement.The study highlights a significant correlation with results indicating shorter sleep duration, more trouble falling asleep, and significantly greater levels of exhaustion during the day, indicating the substantial association between late-night internet use and low levels of poor sleep quality. The survey additionally examined the frequent use of late-night internet, which had a detrimental impact on academic engagement, resulting in difficulty in focusing during class hours and less involvement in discussions. Additionally, it was seen that people who had late-night internet usage found it challenging to complete any task.The result underlines the growing need for intervention techniques and awareness raising to encourage a healthier balance between college students and their late-night internet habits and their academic responsibilities. Educational institutions can have a huge influence on promoting improved sleep and helping them raise their academic status by addressing the issue of digital well-being. In order to improve the lives of college students and their academic performance, this paper addresses the importance of incorporating digital well- being programs into educational settings and institutions while adhering to a larger conversation on controlling technology use for improved outcomes in the life of college students. The paper concludes by urging colleges to give digital well-being top priority asan essential part of their support systems for students, so that they may better prepare them to deal with the difficulties of juggling technology with their personal and academic lives.
