Abstract	Today's college students use social media extensively for entertainment, education, and communication. However, excessive internet use can have an impact on their sleep schedule, social life, and academic performance. The purpose of this study is to investigate how college students in the Mandvi region use social media in relation to their academic performance, in-person social interactions, and sleep duration. Students' information was gathered using a structured questionnaire. According to the research, students who use social media excessively may become distracted from their studies, engage in fewer social and physical activities, and experience sleep delays. Students who spend more time online at night frequently have trouble sleeping and are less focused in class. Social media facilitates communication and academic activities, but excessive use has detrimental effects on both academic performance and health. According to this study, students should receive guidance on how to properly manage their digital habits. To guarantee better learning, wholesome relationships, and enhanced wellbeing, educators and parents must encourage social media use in moderation.
