Cell Phones Blamed for Disrupted Sleep Posted Jan 18th 2008 8:58AM by Tim Stevens Filed under: Cell Phones Not Sleeping Well? Blame Your Cell Phone! There have been many claims and supposed findings about the impacts of electromagnetic radiation from cell phones and your health. So far, none of these studies have come up with hard proof that shows any real negative link. Now, a new study -- which found that the amount of radiation given off by a cell phone can disrupt your sleep -- is adding a little more gas to the fire, The study, which was conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), showed that exposure to electromagnetic radiation resulted in disturbed sleep patterns, potentially affecting your body's ability to recover from a day of stress. This news is an eye-opening finding for gadget fans who have trouble nodding off at night, especially those who use the alarm clock function on their phones. The study only involved 71 men and women, so we'd like to see some further testing performed with a somewhat larger pool of participants. Nevertheless, you can be sure we will be shutting off our phones before nodding off for the evening -- or maybe just leave them in the other room. http://www.switched.com/2008/01/18/cell-phones-blamed-for-disrupted-sleep/
