i am not sure if this is a stupid question
but are there any harms sleeping with a mobile phone next to you
thanks !!
;)
-
i hope not...cause i do that too..
But it's not nxt to me, but on the desk close to my bed
-
i sleep with mine under my pillow because it's my alarm. i don't think that an iphone is very dangerous judging by the fact that it barely ever has any signal available on it anyway lol. :P
-
^^ same, if there were any effects i would've experienced it by now :P
-
lol... i use it as my alarm as well... but if is out of arms reach ... i won't be able to hear it ..
so i put it next to my pillow ...
;D
-
Yes...it gives you aids.
And then you die.
(dundundun)
-
^agreed. the amount of times i have slept through my alarm lol! so frustrating!!!
-
rofl, we posted at the EXACT same time bec :P
-
TWINS??
-
i always wanted a sister :P
-
I sleep with my mobile next to me and I glow a healthy green at night. But seriously I doubt that there are any effects from sleeping with your phone near you.
i always wanted a sister :P
NO YOU DO NOT!
I have two twin sisters and they are constantly fighting and I must get into a one sided argument (that they win) about anything. If the loungeroom TV is too loud for them, they will turn it down, if they want to use my laptop for the Internet right now, they will. How is this, they wouldn't just stay quiet for my year 12 exam period so I would have to study and put up with them fighting.

I think perhaps placing any electronic device in your bedroom is bad. There was this hype on A Current Affairs about placing a television in your bedroom, or even a fridge, as some people do. There was also some news story about a truck driver getting cancer near his ear and blaming it on mobile phones.
-
Idk about sleeping but I once watched this thing on 60 minutes talking about how there's been a huge increase in people getting brain tumours now that mobile phones are more widely used and to avoid/decrease the chance of a brain tumour developing, you should always put your phone on loudspeaker or something.

But it's "A Current Affairs"... Can you even trust some of the "research" that they do?

I used to sleep with my mobile next to me. For some reason, it affected my sleep.
Recently, I have placed my phone on the table near my bed (so the phone is about 1 meter away from my bed). I have been able to sleep ok :)
-
I leave my phone around a metre from where I sleep...
-
lol. In the home forum menu it says last reply in "Sleeping with your m..." and I immediately assumed mum. ha

Yeah it's 'pop(ular)-news' and a lot of those stories are just to stir things up. Plus it wasn't really a discussed issue in my physics classes.
A mobile phone would emit very low power microwave radiation and by using the phone occassionally you will be fine. Being near the radio towers would be a hazard, since the microwaves are much more intense.
-
radiation i believe...i have an ALARM clock as my ALARM :)...but its too far away so i ahve to get up and turn it off which means i'm already up...
-
one meter away from the phone is pretty far for me ...
i can only hear like inside the 30cm range when i am sleeping ... then i will wake up
lol ::)
-
I normally sleep with it near my bed somewhat. (within an arms reach)

There doesn't seem to be a solid consensus... Wikipedia's got a pretty good overall summary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_radiation_and_health
