View Original AbstractSix nights of RF exposure showed no measurable effects on sleep or cognitive function in 10 healthy men.
Plain English Summary
German researchers exposed 10 healthy young men to pulsed radiofrequency electromagnetic fields during sleep for six consecutive nights, measuring both sleep quality and cognitive performance. They found no significant effects on sleep patterns, brain wave activity, or mental function compared to baseline measurements. This suggests that short-term RF exposure during sleep may not immediately disrupt these biological processes in healthy adults.
Study Details
To study the effects of short- and long-term pulsed radiofrequency electromagnetic fields on night sleep and cognitive functions in healthy subjects.
Previously realized sleep studies yielded inconsistent results regarding short-term exposure. Moreov...
We did not find significant effects, either on conventional sleep parameters or on power spectra and...
With our results, we are unable to reveal either short-term or cumulative long-term effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields on night sleep and cognitive functions in healthy young male subjects.
