Years of sleeping with phones on

[jackjohnson1990]

Hello,

I have been using my cell phones as alarms for half a decade, it's on the floor next to my bed and it stays on for the whole night untill the alarm awakes me. I have read things about radiation from cellphones being harmful but there are no actual scientific evidence that they can cause cancer or tumors etc.
However, because of the many, many hours that I have spent sleeping with cellphones on, I am somewhat worried that damage may have been done. I feel healthy and have not noticed anything from my health, although I've always had problems with sleep.
Maybe I can take some kinds of tests to see if there are problems or will they not help at all in this manner?
Thanks in advance.

sincerely,

jack johnson

Please don't worry about this.  As an Oncology RN I can say there is no risk of cancer in this situation.

What you are saying is true, but it is a scary thought to that the only option is to wait it out.

Yes the phones are always 2 to 3 feet away from me. Also, I rarely use phones to call or text, and I have barely ever been called up while I was asleep.

I've read the same thing about the dangers of cell phones... potential radiation exposure and all. But, it's mainly in relation to the actual usage (like, right up next to your ear) and, over a prolonged period of time (several years). I've also read similar concerns about handsfree bluetooth devices. Anyhow, I suspect that the jury is still out on all of this... and we won't know for certain until many more years down the road.

But, the way I see it, since your's is on the floor... I'm guessing at least 2 feet away from you? ...I would think that it's far enough away to be within a safe range; and, I personally wouldn't lose any sleep over this.
