Is sleeping next to your cell phone bad for sleep?
Posted: Fri Jun 28, 2013 7:37 pmDo any of you sleep next to your cell phone or smart phone? If so, do you notice any difference in how it affects the quality of your sleep?
I tried sleeping with my phone near me a few nights and also tried sleeping without the phone nearby or turned off, and noticed that when I sleep near my smart phone while it's on, my sleep quality suffers. I get nightmares, feel anxiety and wake up groggy and with a bit of a headache, as though the sleep process was interfered with. But when the phone isn't around or turned off, I slept much better and more normal without interference.
Is there a reason for this? Or is it just a placebo effect?
Have any of you tried both ways and experienced any difference?
What about the wifi in my home? Should I turn it off during sleep too? But even if I do, the neighbors' wifi from multiple houses still runs through the house. What can you do about that? Wear a tin foil hate or radiation protector blanket?
