Is Your Cell Phone Keeping You Awake?
A new study seems to suggest that talking on a cell phone before bed time can hinder you from getting a good nights sleep, but If this was true my wife would never go to bed…
As you might know, there are 5 stages of sleep that one normally goes through each night, and proper sleep can help to improve memory processing and consolidation. Although the findings may not come as a surprise to you given the results from the previous study, this is especially informative to teenagers and to others who frequently talk on their cell phone before sleeping. Professor Bengt Arnetz, who led the study, believes that cell phone radiation may activate the brain’s stress system “making people more alert and more focused, and decreasing their ability to wind down and fall asleep”.
