According to a recent study, 65% of smartphone users leave their smartphones on their mattresses as they sleep. Despite the fact that some individuals use their phones for music, meditation, or other calming apps while they sleep, there has long been debate about the harmful implications of this habit on one’s health.

In this article and inline with a publication on Medicalnewstoday, we will look at some of the reasons why you should avoid sleeping close to your phone. Keep on reading and explore new knowledge.

1. Disturbance of sleep.

We anticipate that because it’s a gadget, it will ring, beep, or vibrate. Only a small percentage of people are immune to the FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) problem, which makes them check their phones long after they’ve decided to go to bed. Because of this, most of a person’s naptime is spent in REM, which comes before deep sleep.

2. Promotes increased brain activity.

Studies in science have revealed that continuous exposure to electromagnetic radiation can damage the blood-brain barrier, allowing albumin to flow into the brain. The wireless radiation from the phone speeds up even the brain’s blood glucose activity.

3. Could lead to cancer.

Before we can start talking about phone radiation, engineers must first decide on acceptable SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) limits. Despite the lack of convincing scientific evidence linking mobile phones to cancer, the WHO issued a discretionary warning to keep them away from young children. Different researchers have asserted the opposite.

4. Problems with reproduction

When pregnant women are exposed to electromagnetic radiation, there is a chance that their unborn children will have genetic flaws. As a result, male sperm production and quality may suffer.

5. Fire incident risk.

Because they are so in love with them, many people sleep with their phones under their mattresses. Due to this practise, there have been instances where pillows have caught fire.

The most well-known incidence involved a Texas youngster who, in July 2014, awoke to the scent of burning. Her phone, which was hidden beneath her pillow, set fire to her mattress and sheet.
