Sleep Away from Mobile Phones

Normally, we would have our mobile phones nearby. Possible calls while we are sleeping are a given and we just don’t want to miss them even if it means waking us up from a deep slumber.
But while this is a common practice, the radiation that these mobile phones is something to worry about. There are health risks that include headaches, confusion and depression which may be solicited so it is best to read on this.
Radiation from mobile phones delays and reduces sleep, and causes headaches and confusion, according to a new study.
The research, sponsored by the mobile phone companies themselves, shows that using the handsets before bed causes people to take longer to reach the deeper stages of sleep and to spend less time in them, interfering with the body’s ability to repair damage suffered during the day.
The findings are especially alarming for children and teenagers, most of whom – surveys suggest – use their phones late at night and who especially need sleep. Their failure to get enough can lead to mood and personality changes, ADHD-like symptoms, depression, lack of concentration and poor academic performance.
