Nighttime use of electronic screens has been associated with decreased total sleep time and circadian rhythm disturbances, as well as academic performance. The aim of this research was to determine screen use and sleep duration in university students. The research was descriptive, observational, and cross-sectional; the study population were undergraduate students from Centro Universitario del Sur, Universidad de Guadalajara, Mexico, obtaining a total of 220 participants. Questions were asked related to the duration of screen use, whether there was a television in the room or electronic screens were used before going to sleep, and the chrononutritional behavior profile questionnaire was applied. Mean hours of sleep were greater on weekends than on weekdays, and there was also a tendency to sleep and wake up later on weekends than on weekdays in both men and women. Around a third of the population had a social jetlag of more than two hours, with a higher proportion in men (38.55%) than in women (30.3%); mean time of use of electronic screens per day was 6.15 ± 3:00 h. It was identified that 56.74% of university students use some type of screen between 5 and 10 h and 40.47% did not have a television in their room. This information can be useful to generate public health and educational policies considering the role of sleep duration, screen use, and social jetlag in interventions that prevent obesity and promote public health.
