In today’s digital age, mobile phone has become an integral ‘part of our life. From morning to night, this small gadget stays with us. But have you ever thought how safe it is to keep the mobile with your pillow while sleeping at night? Many people sleep habitual phones on bed or under a pillow. But is this habit fine for your health and sleep? Come, let us understand deeply on this subject and know what experts say about it.
Mobile radiation: How harmful?
There has been a long discussion among scientists about electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emanating from mobile phones. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and other health institutions, the level of radiation emanating from mobile phones is generally considered safe, but the effects of being in contact for a long time are still not completely clear. Some studies have revealed that keeping the phone near the head at night can affect the quality of sleep. Problems such as sleep problems, headache, and stress have been added to it. Experts recommend that the phone be kept at a distance of at least 3-4 feet so that the effect of radiation is minimized.
Sleep has a deep effect
The use of mobile at night affects your sleep not only due to radiation but also due to its blue light. Blue light gives a message to your brain that it is now day, which reduces the production of melatonin hormones. This hormone controls sleep. If you are busy in social media, video, or chatting just before bedtime, then your brain remains active and delays sleeping. Experts say that screen time should be discontinued at least an hour before bedtime.
How to keep the phone at a safe distance?
Now the question is, how far the phone should be kept? According to health experts, it is best to keep the phone out of the bedroom at night. If this is not possible, then place it on at least 3-4 feet away, such as on the side table. Putting the phone on airplane mode can reduce the level of radiation. Also, if you use the phone for the alarm, start using the old -fashioned alarm clock. This small change can improve your sleep and health.
More care is important for children
This caution is even more important in the case of children. The brain and body of children are developing, so radiation and blue lights can have more effect on them. Parents should prevent children from using phones at night and do not allow them to keep phones in their bedroom. Instead, add habits like reading books or light-hearted interactions.
Small changes, big impact
Mobile phone makes our life easier, but its misuse can harm our health. Small changes like keeping the phone at the right distance at night and reducing screen time can improve your sleep quality and mental health. So from today itself, take a pledge that you will keep the phone away from your pillow at night and move towards a healthy lifestyle.
