Overview of Respondent Characteristics

Gender

This research proves that men play more online games than women. The results of other studies conducted by (Pratama et al., 2022) mengatakan hampir semua pemain game online berjenis kelamin laki-laki berjumlah (53,3%). According to the researchers' assumption that men play online games because men prefer games that make them feel challenged, such as playing online games.

Allan Reiss, a researcher from Stanford University School of Medicine, discovered the existence of inequality between male brains when using games. The brain responds to passion, and a strong desire makes it more active when playing games than women. This causes men to often play games compared to women. Men feel challenged against the game to be completed(Shodik, 2020).

Age                                                                    

The results showed that middle adolescents were found the most compared to early adolescents. Supported by research conducted by (Lestari, 2018) shows almost all 14-year-old students were 17 students (48.6%). Researchers assume that most 14-year-old students in middle teens play online games, where teenagers will think broadly and will maximize their emotions playing online games.

Young age can interfere with adolescent thinking intelligence can decrease, resulting in the body being less than perfect and risk causing obesity (Ibtisamah, 2021).

The researcher's assumption when teenagers become addicted to online games is because they want to find pleasure and eliminate boredom in them as their online play games. Moreover, now there are technological advances, and many teenagers already have gadgets to access online gameplay easily. Many parents lack control and pay attention to their children when using gadgets so that the teenager is freer to play online games for hours, which causes the teenager to become addicted to games.

Addiction to online games results in declining health, such as eye pain. Looking at a computer screen or cellphone for too long when using games certainly causes eye fatigue, minus in the eyes, and damage to the optic nerve (Ibtisamah, 2021).

According to the researchers' assumption that the quality of sleep in adolescents of class VIII MTS Ma'arif Kaliwiro, Wonosobo is in the moderate category. Where teenagers prefer to sleep late to complete the missions of online gameplay, getting enough sleep is very beneficial for the health of the body. When the body is healthy, teenagers will be excited about daily activities. On the other hand, if teenagers have less sleep, they will quickly feel angry, offended, and lazy to do anything.

Getting enough high-quality sleep will make the body feel fresh so that it can make you feel tired and make someone able to do their activities (Chiesa, 2021). Quality sleep is needed by everyone in order to maintain health during activities. Sleep quality is a state of sleep to get comfort and fitness when awakened. Quality sleep will determine whether the person becomes stressed (Sanger & Sepang, 2021).

Researchers assume that when teenagers enjoy playing online games, they will have the desire to get a high score in the game. Teenagers have not been able to control themselves in playing online games. As a result, the time that should be used for sleeping or resting is instead used for playing online games. As a result, teenagers have poor sleep quality due to addiction to online games. Another cause of addiction to online games is when teenagers neglect their school work so that their academic results will decrease due to playing online games.

Online games make teenagers addicted to their sleeping hours until they are used only to playing online games so that the quality of sleep will be disturbed. If sleep quality is poor, the impact is depression and stress (Matur et al., 2021).
