Let me say, it's my old iPhone 4 without a SIM card and I always have the radio off.
Alright it's a 747-8 with lie-flat seat.
You seem to still be alive so I think its fine, the air you breath is worse so I wouldnt worry. Truth
of course it's bad... that's how you get cancer.. ask sheryl crow who blamed it on her cell phone.
I think it is, because I sleep with my iPhone under my pillow, or next to me all the time. It's been 3 years since I got my iPhone, and it's fine. Nothing happened to me. I did not even know about this until earlier today. But it should be fine.
There might be something in this:
I got my first mobile phone in 1989 and since then my hair's gone grey and my skin has developed lines and wrinkles. It's got to be the radiation from my phone and has nothing to do with aging 26 years

I sleep with mine charging on the bedside table next to me for years and never had an issue. That said i wouldnt be sleeping with a charging phone under my pillow...seen plenty of pics of phones from various manafacturers that have overheated and the pillow caught fire.
I've done this too for the past seven years. I must be so full of radiation poisoning by now. I expect to die in three months.
But not ionizing radiationWireless signals ARE radiation.
The rest is valid though
There could be some truth to it, I've grown a second penis from keeping a phone in my pocket all these years.
Sleeping with my iPhone has strengthened our relationship. I know, I feel closer every day. And it even gives me some back talk at times, as long as I have Hey Siri turned on that is. So a little radiation, well, let's just say every relationship has it pluses (6s+) and minuses.
You can always purchase an EMF meter and find out how strong the radiation is from the iPhone charger.

A similar warning was issued long ago regarding certain alarm clocks near your head while sleeping.

It just so happens I have an EMF meter. Got it back in the day when high voltage electrical line cancers were all the rage. Checked the phone and the Apple power adapter. See the charger is in the phone. Radiation fall off is huge. By 6 inches it's nearly gone and at 12 inches no more than background, depending on how you hold it. Gauss lines of interference and all that.

This thread traveled through a wormhole and is exposing us to more radiation than having a phone charging on the nightstand.
I would never anything charging when I wasn't conscious, as this stuff will occasionally fail and sometimes that means catching fire. I am also in the habit of turning my phone onto airplane mode at night to save power + so I don't get any notifications as sometimes do not disturb seems to ignore what I've set, as I use my phone as an alarm clock. I also partially do it out of the fear that they could cause cancer. I doubt it from the reading, but it lessons my anxiety even if its only a placebo effect.
