Don’t Ever Sleep Close to Your Phone at Night if You Don’t Want These Things to Happen

If you are sleeping with your phone under your pillow or just out of reach on a nightstand, you are like the 45% of cell phone owners who need to have their mobile devices close at hand.

The explanations behind this are various, nodding off while sitting tight for a call or message, utilizing as a morning timer, apprehension about missing an instant message, or trusting that somebody will post on their virtual entertainment profile page.

Although many head off to bed with the best of intentions, the simple truth is that keeping your cell phone turned on and near you, while you try to sleep can be hazardous to your health.

 

1. Setting Your Room on Fire.

Although you might not believe it at first, your little cell phone has enough power to spark and cause a fire very easily. If you are sleeping with the mobile device under your pillow, a spark could easily ignite those dry materials and start a fire right under your nose.

2. Reduction in a Sound Sleep

One of the challenges of having a turned-on mobile device near you while sleeping is the slightest sounds can interrupt your sleeping pattern. In order for you to feel refreshed and rejuvenated each day, you need to get eight hours of uninterrupted sleep. When the mobile device is on next to you at night, you get awoken each time you receive an email, a text message, a chat request, a phone call, or when the phone is updating or downloading security features. Additionally, your cell phone is emitting what is called blue light at night.

Blue light has been shown in studies to inhibit the body’s ability to produce melatonin, disrupting the circadian rhythms. These wavelengths emitted by your phone are similar to sunlight, so the body simply thinks during the evening that it is daytime instead. The best thing you can do is turn off mobile devices before bed to allow your body to wind down and get the appropriate amount of rest.

3. Small Traces of Radiation.

The jury is still out on whether excessive contact with a cell phone can lead to cancer, but it is already a proven fact that your cell phone is emitting very small amounts of electromagnetic radiation while turned on.

HE FELL ASLEEP IN A POLICE OFFICER’S ARMS 😴 BUT THAT’S NOT WHY PEOPLE STARTED WHISPERING We were at the Juneteenth festival—music playing, food trucks everywhere, kids laughing and running through the streets. I looked away for just a second to pay for a funnel cake, and when I turned back, my nephew Zavi was gone. Panic hit me like a wave. I dropped everything and started yelling his name, checking every bounce house, every face I passed. I was seconds away from calling 911 when I finally saw him—fast asleep in a police officer’s arms. The officer stood off to the side, calm, like this was nothing new. When I ran over, breathless and scared, he just nodded and said Zavi had wandered off near the snow cone truck and got tired. “Didn’t want to leave him alone,” he said, like it was no big deal. I thanked him, scooped Zavi up, and tried to move on. But then I noticed people staring. Whispering. A few had their phones out. Some were smiling—but not all of them. One woman near the food stand shook her head and said, “Must be nice to get that kind of response.” At first, I didn’t get it. Then it hit me. They weren’t whispering because Zavi had fallen asleep. They were whispering because of who was holding him— And what it might have looked like if just one thing had been different. Now I can’t stop thinking… Would he still be safe if he didn’t look so small, so tired, so harmless? ⬇️ (Continue reading in the first comment)
