View Original AbstractThis large Swiss study found no link between everyday RF EMF exposure and sleep problems in the general population.
Plain English Summary
Swiss researchers studied 1,375 people to see if everyday exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMFs) from cell towers, mobile phones, and cordless phones affected their sleep quality. They found no association between RF EMF exposure and sleep disturbances or daytime sleepiness, even among the 10% most exposed participants. This large population study suggests that typical environmental RF EMF exposure doesn't impair 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 envi...
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.
