Sleeping With Mobile Phone

Mobile phones are a rave these days but apparently, one thing that we also know is that the radiation that they emit is dangerous to us in more ways than one. It will only be a matter of time before we find out the effects that a cellular phone’s radiation can do to our overall health but sleep alone is something that will be affected, especially if we make it a habit to sleep while they are by our bedside.

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.

Sleep Hygiene

The moment we feel that certain sleepy sensation, chances are we will be looking for our beds so that we can immediately lay down and lull ourselves to get the necessary shuteye. But while that is supposedly the immediate things we should do, there are things to consider such as sleep hygiene which we should consider.

Sleep hygiene is not familiar to most people. But interestingly, we do the activities that are against it that makes us gear more towards problematic sleep rather than following the real gospel of sleep.

Here are the Nine Rules of Sleep Hygiene from CHealth for your reference.

Baby with Father

We all know that Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is a leading cause for issues governing the life of babies. A lot of the causes of death stem from the manner to which we place them on our beds. Apparently, having babies sleep alongside adults has been overly discouraged but to date, most people have foregone this warning. Who wouldn’t want their babies beside them even if they have cribs in tow?

But the thing is, this recommendation was only made to protect our babies. While we may choose not to follow this advice, we just have to be aware that such warnings were made to help provide babies with better sleeping positions and valued lives.

“Bed-sharing was the No. 1 risk factor, and while we know that in a small number of cases infants die suddenly during sleep with no explanation, these 29 cases demonstrate the critical need to educate parents and caregivers on how they can reduce the risks of preventable deaths.”

Man Sitting Alone in Bed by Eric Audras

For couples, it is only normal to be used to having someone being there by your bedside all the time when sleeping time comes. It has become automatic for most people to have lesser worries as far as security for one, knowing that their special and trusted loved one is by their side, sleeping or at least within sight.

Most critics may call it a mental or psychological factor. However, it is only customary for people to fit in comfortably into wherever they are placed. Beds for one are not immediately deemed the best fit to lie on until the person has fully adjusted towards it. The same goes to sleeping with someone by your side.

Some people just find it entirely empty to see a bare bed space in their room. They just don’t feel comfortable with the idea that the usual person at their side is nowhere in sight.

Office Sleepovers

Sleeping needs comfort most of the time and most people get this from beds or sofas. However, for the working professionals of today who serve office work, they encounter some instances where they have to sleep overnight at the office to make sure that they meet deadlines. Apparently these instances do not have the liberty of time hence the need to maximize and extend working hours which may not sit well.

Although some employees have been given the go signal to take naps at the office, nothing beats the actual comfort that most people can obtain from sleeping in their actual rooms and homes.
