Abstract
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Scoring (Buysse et al. 1989) is a powerful method to measure the sleep quality index based on the scores of various factors namely duration of sleep, sleep disturbance, sleep latency, day dysfunction due to sleepiness, sleep efficiency, need meds to sleep and overall sleep quality. Mainly we focused on the smart phones' usage and its impact on the quality of sleep at the bed time. Many studies have proved that the usage of smart phones at bed time affects the sleep quality, health and productivity. In the present study, we have collected data randomly from the middle-aged adults and observed the relation between gender and the quality of sleep using phi coefficient. It is clearly observed that as we move from males to females, we move negatively from good sleep quality to poor sleep quality. It indicates that males have poor sleep quality than females. We also performed an analysis of variance to test the hypothesis that there is any association between the smart phones' usage and its impact on quality of sleep at bed time.

Summary
Smart phones play a key role in our daily life to communicate with each other while away. Smart phone technologies can create the addictive tendencies among the people. This tendency will lead to the major health issues namely skin cancer due to radiation, psychological issue, neck problems, sleep deprivation, eye strain etc., as too much of anything is good for nothing. People spend more time on smart phones during the period of lock down. It leads to the negative impact on health and their sleep quality. Liese and Jan (2016) examined the adults’ sleep quality when they use smart phone at bed time. Mohsin and Turki (2019) studied the relation between the sleep quality and sleep hygiene awareness among medical students in King Saud University
