In order to collect the data, a researcher-made attitude-meter was used. The meter was examined by a group of 15 experts and affirmed both content- and form-wise. The cronbac alpha in the attitude-meter of the internet's effect for sleep disorder and nervous ticks was /85 in this study and /81 in another one. In order to analyze the data, the multiple-variable regression method was used in a step by step manner. The results showed that the multiple correlational coafficent was /39 which means the extent and the type of the use of the internet can be the predictive variable interpreting the variation of the dependent variable at about /16. Furthermore, it was found that the extent of the use of some of the internet's applications such as social networking like Facebook had a positive relationship with an increase in sleep disorder and nervous ticks.
