RESULTS: Correlation analysis showed that college students' mobile phone addiction was significantly positively correlated with sleep quality (r=0.24, P<0.001) and negatively correlated with physical exercise (r=-0.109, 0.01<P<0.05). Sleep quality showed a significant negative correlation with physical exercise(r =-0.157, P<0.001). The mediating effect test showed that mobile phone addiction partially intermediaries the effect between physical exercise and sleep quality, with an intermediating effect value of 15.42%.
