This research challenges the assumption that screens are always harmful to sleep. Digital media may either displace rest or help people relax, depending on how it is used. A new research app combines sleep tracking, smartphone activity, and daily self-reports to investigate real-world relationships between media use and sleep.

This research examines how nationalism is embedded in China's entertainment industry, where celebrities become vehicles for political messaging. Through archival research, industry interviews, and audience surveys, it shows that nationalism persists through everyday normalisation rather than belief, offering broader insights into the growing intersection of politics, popular culture, and identity.
