This practice is a common sight we see today. Most people need their mobile phones nearby especially when they want callers to get hold of them immediately. But while that satisfies the aspect of personal and business aspects of your life, your health likewise needs the proper attention.

Doctors asked men and women between the ages of 18 and 45 to talk on cell phones before bed.

Some were exposed to radiation similar to a wireless signal. Other talked on “phoney” phones that released no radiation. Those exposed to radiation reported headaches, took longer to fall asleep and didn’t sleep well through the night.

There are a lot of baby monitoring devices out there today.
Here’s one cool baby monitor to watch and hear your baby sleep from anywhere within your house.

Techwall Electronics manufactures this enhanced baby monitor equipped with a audio and video monitoring that allows the parents to watch/hear their kid. I love the colorful design and the camera is well integrated in the device, giving it a fun cartoon character look.

Denis, you have to get this!
