View Original AbstractThis large Swiss study found no association between everyday RF exposure from phones and towers and sleep quality problems.
Plain English Summary
Swiss researchers studied 1,375 people in Basel to see if everyday radiofrequency radiation from cell towers, mobile phones, and cordless phones affected their sleep quality. They found no connection between RF exposure levels and sleep problems or daytime sleepiness, even among the 10% most exposed participants. This large population study suggests that typical environmental RF 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 o...
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.
