Research Instrument

The main data-collection technique for this study will be semi-structured interviews
gathering qualitative data regarding the relationship between social media engagement and
quality of sleep for 12th-grade HUMSS students. Semi-structured interviews are ideal for
indulging in the participants' experiences and perceptions while providing enough in-depth
insights and a flexible framework for discussion (Crocker et al., 2014).

The interview guide will contain open-ended questions prompting detailed responses.
These are to solicit information from students about their daily use of social media, platforms,
and time spent on this. Also discussed will be students' reasons for using social media, especially
before bedtime, and features of students' sleep experience, such as sleep-onset ability,
disturbance frequency, and sleep-onset wellness of students in relation to nighttime use of social
media. The interviews will draw special attention to students' perceptions of how social media
usage influences their lives with respect to concentration, energy levels, and academic
performance.

The interview guide will be reviewed by experts before the data collection to guarantee
the study's credibility and reliability. A pilot interview will also be held with a small group of
students. This will help refine the questions for better clarity and relevance. All interviews will
be audiotaped with participants' consent and transcribed for the purpose of analysis. The ensuing
data will be subjected to thematic analysis: a qualitative analytical method that is concerned with
identifying and interpreting patterns (also known as themes) within qualitative data (Braun and
Clarke, 2006). This entails systematically coding the data for the development of themes within
the framework that capture the essence of the participants.
