I used to sleep with my cell phone next to me to make it easier if there was a call or something is up. However, study show that cell phone can mess up your sleep. Not because it can interrupt you with call or alarm, but because of its radiation.
People that are exposed to cell phone radiation is proven to be harder to get deep sleep than those who rarely use cell phone.
The study are from Wayne State University and Uppsala University, and Foundation IT’IS, USA, and Karolinska Institutet, Sweden. They conduct experiment by collecting 71 people of men and women with age ranging from 18 to 45 and observe them. They found that 38 people had symptoms that they attributed to cell phone use (problems with mental thinking, stress hormones, performance and sleep). The other 33 has none of these symptoms. The 71 people are using their cell phone daily with usage time between five minutes to three hours per day.
So sleeping next to your cell phone can only make your sleep more uncomfortable due to the radiation. If you want to put your cell phone next to you when you sleep, make sure you turn it off first.
Is it bad to sleep next to cell phone? Definitely yes. Not to mention the unclear answer whether or not cell phone cause brain tumor. By sleeping next to your cell phone or even near the head, if it turns out that cell phone can cause brain tumor then surely you’ll get one.
