Aims: The present study aims to explore the role of gender and educational qualification on nomophobia, anxiety and insomnia among Gen Z in Odisha. Methods: The sample consisted of 513 participants (42.7% males and 57.3% female). Three scales were used to measure the variables: the Nomophobia questionnaire, the Insomnia Severity Index and the Generalised Anxiety Disorder scale. Results demonstrated that female participants exhibited higher levels of nomophobia and greater levels of anxiety, while males reported higher levels of insomnia. UG students exhibited higher levels of nomophobia, while PG students reported higher levels of both insomnia and anxiety. Conclusion: The findings from the study contribute to the evolving research on the psychological repercussions of excessive mobile phone use, sleep disturbances, and anxiety, while also emphasising the importance of designing support strategies suited to specific populations.
