Is it advisable to sleep with your
cell phone under your pillow? There are so many warnings against doing so.
Experts agree with these
warnings. They advise taking the safe route and limiting extended
exposure, such as sleeping with a cell phone several feet away from your
head.
Below are some links and comments
about the specific subject of sleeping with a cell phone under your pillow:
Some people are so attached to
their cell phones that they sleep with them on their nightstand or even under
their pillow. Bad idea. Cell phones pump out electromagnetic radiation whenever
they’re on – which means sleeping with one nearby boosts your exposure all
night long.
What to do? Put the phone on
“airplane mode” (which shuts down the transceiver) or turn it off. If you need
to be available for calls, place the phone several feet away from your bed.
Natural News reported
in 2010 about a study by International Electromagnetic Field Collaborative
recommends that:
…parents should not allow their
children under the age of 18 to use mobile phones except in emergencies, or to
sleep with cellular phones under their pillows.
“…doctors frown on sleeping with a
cell phone under your pillow or directly next to your bed.”
Joel Moskowitz, PhD, director of
the Center for Family and Community Health at UC Berkeley’s School of Public
Health has suggested that it is best not to let kids sleep with their phones
under their pillows.
In 2011, a Thailand consumer
protection group issued a warning, urging people to stop sleeping with their
cell phones.
Conclusion
From the sampling above, it would
appear that most experts suggest avoiding sleeping with cell phones under your
pillow, especially until more is known about the connection between cell phone
exposure and brain tumors.
While the debate rages, it is
better to err on the side of caution. Try to minimize your cell phone
radiation exposure. Keep cell phone several feet away while sleeping.
