View Original AbstractThis Swiss study of 1,375 people found no link between everyday RF EMF exposure and sleep problems or daytime sleepiness.
Plain English Summary
Swiss researchers studied whether exposure to radiofrequency EMFs from cell towers, mobile phones, and cordless phones affects sleep quality in 1,375 people from Basel. They found no association between RF EMF exposure and sleep disturbances or daytime sleepiness. This suggests that everyday RF EMF exposure at current environmental levels may not significantly impact sleep quality.
Study Details
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the association between exposure to various sources of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMFs) in the everyday environment and sleep quality, which is a common public health concern.
We assessed self-reported sleep disturbances and daytime sleepiness in a random population sample of...
In multivariable regression models, adjusted for relevant confounders, no associations between envir...
The results of this large cross-sectional study did not indicate an impairment of subjective sleep quality due to exposure from various sources of RF EMFs in everyday life
