[center]SLEEPING NEAR A CELL PHONE[/center]

phone-sleepCell phone safety is an important issue in today’s world. Everyone knows that they’re dangerous. But the extent of the danger, we don’t know yet. But they are dangerous. The health risks of cell phones are not clear. There’s been no research that proves cell phone use causes cancer; in fact, the links to any kind of health risk aren’t yet clear. In general, cell phones are said to give off such small doses of electromagnetic radiation – which is also emitted from X-rays and microwaves and can lead to tumor growth in high amounts – that they’re perfectly safe to handle. Still, the World Health Organization warned in 2011 that usage may be possibly carcinogenic to humans, especially in children, whose scalps and skulls are thinner than adults’, and more vulnerable to radiation. The World Health Organization also stated that electronic devices in general (not just cell phones) are bad for the body and can increase the chances of developing cancer. They produce toxic effects that many scientists do not acknowledge, which is why you need to know that cell phones are based on ionizing radiation and wavelengths.

Ever fall asleep while scrolling on your smartphone or you purposely left it on your bed while you slept? You’re not alone: a good number of cell phone owners have slept with their phones next to their bed to make sure they didn’t miss any crucial calls or texts. Also, in the world we live in, cell phone use is increasingly essential to daily life so much so that we do not put it down day-in-day-out. We take it with us wherever we go and if we forget it at home, we feel like something is missing. We do not turn it off at any time of the day and we sleep with it on the nightstand. But while you may have good intentions, this habit can be detrimental to your health. Would you like to know if it is good or bad to sleep near a cell phone? Would you like to know how and where should you leave your cell phone when you sleep? Would you like to know ways to reduce cell phone radiation? Find out the answer below.

Your cell phone even when you’re not using it still communicates with the base stations by radio transmissions. This means that the phones are constantly radiating electromagnetic waves into the environment, not just when they are being used. Placing it near your head while sleeping is like “spreading contagions” of these waves – that do us no good.

HERE ARE SOME EFFECTS OF KEEPING THE CELL PHONE CLOSE TO YOU WHILE SLEEPING

Study shows that sleeping next to your mobile phones is extremely dangerous due to its harmful radiation. (Some believe that this is the primary cause of Brain Cancer.) Do you know that most cell phones have about 884 MHz wireless signals when it is on? This simply means that your phone is constantly emitting radiation all the time when you on it? Now, what do you think about it?
Studies have shown that if you keep your cell phone close to you for a period of very long time, it will cause headache, muscle pain, or cancer if it is serious. It is not a guaranteed that you will get these illnesses if you do that. However, it greatly increases the probability of getting it.

Another issue to keep in mind, and one that many do is that you should not leave your cell phone (charging overnight while you have it) under your pillow or besides your head (This “under the pillow” angle of cell phone radiation is just a subset of a larger discussion on the topic of cell phone radiation in general). There are many cases of people who have burned their face or hands due to an overload and subsequent fire inside their devices. Most pillows are made of a material which burns very quickly and this puts us in great danger while we sleep because we are not aware of what is happening around us. Some phone manuals also note that there’s a risk of a fire if the gadget is covered by bedding or other thick material. Bottom line: Don’t leave your cell on your bed. also see: http://maleak.com/first-aid-some-common-issues-around-us-that-require-first-aid-and-how-we-can-go-about-it/
If you are like the billions of people who sleep with their cell phone next to their bed, this could be causing many problems to your health. The radiation that smartphones emit is really dangerous and not advisable for any reason. This is true at any time of the day, but in the hours when we are sleeping, having our cell phone near us can lead to nightmares, inability to sleep, and waking up several times each night, etc. why this happens is because it causes an alteration in the system of certain self-regulating processes, such as your biological clock or cardiac rhythms.

Another risk that is also related to leaving the cell phone on the bedside table is that it increases our anxiety levels, we are constantly alert and expectant of what may happen all the time, we wake up in the middle of the night to check our e-mail or social networks each time we get a notification, etc. This is a change in behavior and habits that eventually results in stress, insomnia, poor concentration, cognitive problems, lack of productivity, irritability, nightmares, headaches, etc.
Cell phones (and tablets, TVs, and other gadgets with LED screens) give off what’s known as blue light – a type that studies suggest can inhibit the production of the sleep-inducing hormone (melatonin) and disrupt our circadian rhythms. This may be because blue light emits wavelengths similar to daylight, which can make our bodies think its daytime, at any time. To fall asleep when you want (and need) to, power down all electronics two hours before bedtime. Better yet, keep your phone and laptop in another room while you sleep.
One study in Australia showed that there is an important relationship between the use of smartphones and sterility in men, as well as reduced sperm quality. In both sexes, there was an increase in stress levels.

HOW AND WHERE SHOULD YOU LEAVE YOUR CELL PHONE WHEN YOU SLEEP?

First, turn it off and leave it in the usual place (on the desk or nightstand), keeping in mind that you must use a different alarm clock, or consider putting it in “airplane mode” which suspends the phone’s transmission functions.
The second is to leave it on but place it in a distant room, such as the kitchen or living room. This alternative is less desirable. And if you do not feel comfortable turning off the phone in case someone needs to communicate with you during the night in an emergency, you can at least turn off the Internet or Wi-Fi connection, which is more dangerous than the radio waves.
Experts recommend that the cell phone should be at least three feet away from the body during sleep. We can leave it, for example, on the couch or on a chair.

WAYS TO REDUCE CELL PHONE RADIATION

Use Hands-Free Devices: Going hands-free with a Bluetooth or headset can reduce SAR levels as long as they are removed from the head when not in use.
Restrict Talking Time: Limiting the time you spend talking obviously restricts exposure to cell phone radiation. Keep the calls short and if they are extended, change ears every few minutes.
Text instead of talking: Texting instead of talking also reduces exposure of the cranium to potential radiation.
Airplane mode: If you are using your phone at night for its clock or alarm features, consider putting it in “airplane mode” which suspends the phone’s transmission functions.
Distance: If you intend to keep it on at night, keep it several feet away from you while you sleep.
Body contact: Avoid carrying them in front pockets! Do not carry your cell phone on your body (men especially should not put it in the pocket of their pants) and avoid contact with your skin.
SAR Level: Every cell phone has a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) which somehow indicates the amount of radiation emitted. Look for a cell phone with a low SAR level which suggests lower radiation levels.
Children: Children are especially vulnerable to radiation. Parents are not to allow their children under the age of 10 to use mobile phones except in emergencies, or to sleep with cellular phones under their pillows or besides their heads. Do not let children use the cell phone, even as a toy.
(It is recommended that you use corded land lines whenever possible, and using cellular phones mostly as answering machines, turning them on only to check messages and return calls).

Take a break: It is necessary to allow our cell phone to rest a little and we can take a break from it. During the night, we should dedicate ourselves to sleep and rest, to recharge our batteries that we have spent all day. It is better for the cell phone to stay off until we get up (if we can stand the temptation) or until we leave home for work. In this way, we avoid imbalances in the neuronal level, in our quality of sleep and stress levels.
Use of cell phones inside buildings or in cars increases cancer risk, as it increases the radiation a phone must emit to function. if possible do not talk on your smartphone in an area where the signal is weak because the devise will have to issue more powerful radio waves.
Also, do not forget that the other appliances you have at home can also be harmful to your health. Try not to have televisions or computers in your bedroom. If you already have them, you can unplug them before bedtime, for example. Turn off the Router when you go to bed and try not to use the cell phone up until the last moment before closing your eyes.
Stop being too anxious: Although this is not a tip for limiting exposure to cell phone radiation, keeping things in perspective can be helpful. Since there is no evidence correlating cell phone usage with cancer, it probably isn’t worth feeling overly anxious in regards to the extensive publicity on cell phones and cancer. Also, despite the lack of scientific evidence for an interaction between cell phone use and cancer, it is still wise to limit one’s exposure to cell phone radiation.
CONCLUSION: If you’re worried about a possible cancer risk, try to avoid exposing yourself to these radiations. It is always said that “prevention is better than cure”. Be wise.

Very informative. I can never ever make the mistake of sleeping with my phone so close to my ear even when switched off. Any mobile device or gadgets with screen emit some form of radiation and continous exposure to such radiations could lead to the dreadful "cancer".

I give you 13 lbs of raw pure muscles for this post of yours.

I am a victim of this,
This is quite informative... thanks.
