View Original AbstractThis small study found no sleep or cognitive effects from RF exposure, but larger studies show mixed results on wireless radiation's impact on rest.
Plain English Summary
German researchers exposed 10 healthy young men to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (similar to cell phone radiation) for six consecutive nights while monitoring their sleep patterns and cognitive performance. The study found no significant effects on sleep quality, brain wave patterns during sleep, or mental function tests. This suggests that short-term RF exposure at the levels tested does not disrupt sleep or thinking abilities in healthy individuals.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to investigate Effects of short- and long-term pulsed radiofrequency electromagnetic fields on night sleep and cognitive functions in healthy subjects.
Therefore, 10 healthy young male subjects were included and nocturnal sleep was recorded during eigh...
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.
