View Original AbstractThis year-long study of 955 adults found no evidence that mobile phone use or environmental RF radiation disrupts sleep quality.
Plain English Summary
Swiss researchers followed 955 adults for one year to examine whether mobile phone use and everyday radiofrequency radiation exposure affects sleep quality. Using both self-reported surveys and objective measurements in bedrooms, they found no evidence that RF-EMF exposure from phones or environmental sources caused sleep disturbances or daytime sleepiness. This large study suggests that common concerns about EMF disrupting sleep may not be supported by measurable effects.
Study Details
The aim of this prospective cohort study was to investigate whether sleep quality is affected by mobile phone use or by other RF-EMF sources in the everyday environment.
We conducted a prospective cohort study with 955 study participants aged between 30 and 60 years. Sl...
In the longitudinal analyses neither operator-recorded nor self-reported mobile phone use was associ...
We did not find evidence for adverse effects on sleep quality from RF-EMF exposure in our everyday environment.
