One of two things to do if you sleep next to your phone at night

However, the habit of sleeping next to your phone can be harmful to your health. A survey shows that many Britons admit to sleeping with their phones, of which 74% of participants said they cannot keep their phones out of reach when sleeping.

The dangers of using phones are determined for many different reasons. First, the blue light emitted from mobile devices can confuse the brain, thinking it is time to wake up, thereby reducing the quality of sleep. There are also hygiene issues when leaving phones on the bed - a scientific aspect worth considering.

Furthermore, although cell phones emit low levels of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and there is no clear evidence of negative biological effects from them, many people are concerned about long-term health risks.

To mitigate these concerns, some people choose to use wired headphones instead of Bluetooth headphones and regularly turn on airplane mode when not using their phones. These measures can help protect users' health in the context of increasingly advanced technology.

Two things to do if you sleep next to your phone every night

Dr. Brian S. Boxer Wachler, a renowned expert in ophthalmology and other eye care efforts from the Boxer Wachler Vision Institute in Beverly Hills, recently shared ways to help people minimize the effects of EMF when sleeping near their phones. He emphasized that: “If you sleep with your phone next to you and are concerned about the effects of EMF, especially on children, you should consider using a Faraday bag.”

Faraday bags are a type of box designed to minimize the effects of electromagnetic fields, usually made of conductive material. They are often used to protect credit cards and car keys from being stolen. Dr. Wachler also noted that turning on airplane mode on your phone does not completely block electromagnetic radiation like a Faraday bag does.

Additionally, he offers a simple solution if users don't want to buy a Faraday bag: turn off your phone.

After Dr. Wachler's advice was posted, many commented that "this advice is for 5G phones but is still very useful," while others advised "just keep it as far away as possible."
