In an era where our mobile phone feels like an extension of our selves, a lingering concern is can it, being physically close to you, while sleeping, increases the risk of brain tumours.
Dr LS Harishchandra, “The plausible explanation behind this scientific consensus lies in the nature of the electromagnetic radiations emitted by these devices, namely 3G, 4G, and 5G.”
Dr Dilip Mohan says, “keeping mobile phones next to people’s head during sleep is not recommended for reasons that it may disturb sleep and possible have heating issues.”
Dr Manoj Sharma declares that constant notifications lead to rising anxiety levels. “It can make it harder to sleep and reduce the quality of sleep.” Shares Dr Satyanarayana Mysore.
Mobile phones aren’t just a health hazard, they are a fire hazard too. Though doctors say that a phone catching on fire is rare, there have been reports due to battery issues too.
“As we navigate the digital age, our focus should remain on balanced phone usage and healthy sleep, rather than succumbing to unwarranted fears,” concludes Dr Harishchandra.
