View Original AbstractBrain responses to cell phone radiation during sleep proved inconsistent even in the same person, questioning the reliability of reported EMF sleep effects.
Plain English Summary
Swiss researchers exposed 20 young men to cell phone-level radiation (900 MHz at 2 watts per kilogram) for 30 minutes before sleep on two separate nights, then monitored their brain activity throughout the night using EEG. While they found some increases in certain brain wave patterns during deep sleep, these effects were inconsistent - they didn't reliably occur in the same individuals across both exposure sessions. This suggests that if cell phone radiation affects sleep brain activity, the response varies unpredictably between people and even within the same person on different nights.
Study Details
Our study aimed to investigate inter-individual variation and intra-individual stability of field effects.
To do so, we exposed 20 young male subjects twice for 30 min prior to sleep to the same amplitude mo...
