View Original AbstractEnvironmental RF radiation from cell towers and WiFi networks doesn't appear to disrupt sleep quality in typical daily exposure scenarios.
Plain English Summary
Swiss researchers followed 955 adults for one year to see if cell phone use or other everyday radiofrequency (RF) radiation affected their sleep quality. They found no connection between RF exposure and sleep problems, even when they objectively measured both radiation levels in bedrooms and sleep patterns using wrist monitors. This suggests that typical environmental RF exposure may not be disrupting sleep as some people fear.
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.
