Weekend_Extra_Hours is unrelated to everything else.\n\nI computed Pearson correlations for all 20 pairs among the six numeric measures (Daily_Usage_Hours, Weekend_Extra_Hours, Sleep_Duration_Hours, Sleep_Quality_Score, Perceived_Stress_Score, Mental_Health_Index, Academic_Performance_GPA). The ranked results are in the rendered table above.\n\n**Strongest relationships (by absolute r):**\n- **Daily_Usage_Hours and Mental_Health_Index: r = -0.85.** This is the strongest pair in the dataset. More daily use goes with a lower mental-health index.\n- **Sleep_Duration_Hours and Mental_Health_Index: r = +0.774.** Longer sleep goes with a better mental-health index.\n- **Perceived_Stress_Score and Mental_Health_Index: r = -0.774.** Higher stress goes with a lower mental-health index.\n- **Daily_Usage_Hours and Perceived_Stress_Score: r = +0.754.**\n- **Sleep_Duration_Hours and Sleep_Quality_Score: r = +0.748.**\n- **Daily_Usage_Hours and Sleep_Duration_Hours: r = -0.716**, and **Daily_Usage_Hours and Academic_Performance_GPA: r = -0.71.**\n\n**Pattern:**\n- Daily usage is negatively related to sleep duration (-0.716), sleep quality (-0.681), mental health (-0.85) and GPA (-0.71). It is positively related to stress (+0.754).\n- Sleep, mental health and GPA move together. Mental_Health_Index and GPA correlate at +0.659, and sleep duration and GPA at +0.595.\n- The weakest links inside the cluster are sleep quality with stress (-0.576) and sleep quality with GPA (+0.529). These are still moderate.\n\n**Weekend_Extra_Hours is essentially independent.** Its correlations with every other measure are between 0.001 and 0.017 in absolute value (for example Weekend~SleepDur 0.017, Weekend~GPA 0.012, Usage~Weekend -0.01). Weekday usage, not weekend extra hours, is what tracks the outcomes.\n\n**Caveats:**\n- The data is observational, so these are associations, not proof of cause. Heavy use could harm sleep and mental health, but the reverse direction, or a shared third factor, is also possible.\n- I only measured correlations among numeric columns. Relationships involving categorical columns (platform, academic level, gender, device type, overall impact) were not tested here. Gold tables broken down by those categories could be used for that.\n- Pearson r captures only linear relationships."
