Sleeping next to your phone may have adverse impacts on your body. It puts our health in peril because of the radiation it releases.
Radiation is often produced by mobile phones because of their 900 MHz transmission signal. As a result, using a cell phone while holding it close to your head for an extended period can lead to headaches and other health issues. It is advised that you put your phone away or turn it off, especially when not using it at the moment.
It has become common practice for people, especially youngsters to sleep with their phones nearby since it’s convenient to reach when the phone rings.
In this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we will look at the side effects of sleeping beside your phone.
1. It can amount to an explosion, especially when kept under the pillow due to heat.
Some smartphone users are so obsessed with their devices that they sleep with them, even under their pillows. According to research, this behaviour has led to incidents of pillows being lit on fire which can be traced to the explosion of the phone as a result of overheating. When the smartphone is kept in an airtight environment, it causes the motherboard and battery to heat up because of the poor ventilation which can lead to the inflammation of the phone.
2. It risks your health because of the radiation it emits.
Radiation is often produced by mobile phones because of their huge transmission signal. Therefore, using your phone while holding it close to your head for an extended period may cause major health issues including headaches and backaches.
3. It might amount to discomfort, especially while sleeping.
Blue light is emitted by LED-screen electronics such as smartphones, tablets, TVs, and other gadgets.
Bright light reportedly throws off circadian cycles and hinders the production of the melatonin hormone, which aids in sleep. This may be because blue light emits wavelengths that are similar to those of daylight, tricking our bodies into thinking that it is daytime even when it is not.
