This study investigates the effects of nighttime technology use on researchers’ sleep quality and psychological wellbeing at the University of Sharjah, UAE. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative research design, the study engaged participants through semi-structured interviews to explore their perspectives on nighttime technology use. Thematic analysis of the interview data revealed three main emergent themes: (1) "Risk and Protective Factors of Nighttime Technology Use and Sleep Disturbances," (2) "Technostress and Psychological Wellbeing," and (3) "Protective Strategies: Researchers’ Perspectives." The findings offer some insights into the effects of nighttime technology use on researchers’ sleep quality and psychological wellbeing. These insights can help develop programs aimed at improving work-life balance for researchers, emphasizing the importance of mental health and self-care in high-pressure academic environments.
