Sleeping Next To Charging iPhone...Is it Bad For You?

The long-term pedagogical value of this thread is questionable, but the fact that it has been recently resurrected is a possible sign that it was not cleanly addressed before.

Newbies accidentally resurrect old threads all the time.

It's not ionizing radiation.. You could have your phone up in your mouth for 100 years and it wont do anything to you.

If someone sleeps better because they don't have their phone nearby... whatever floats their boat. It's not about radio waves, it's about brain waves.

If they're worried that all that non-ionizing radiation is going to fry their brains... they're free to get rid of the source of that worry (that could be keeping their distance from RF-emitters, meditating, psychotherapy, finding true love, turning their bedrooms into Faraday cages...).

I sleep within a foot or two of an iPhone, iPad, 27" iMac, Watch. I've noticed that talking on my iPhone while in bed can keep me awake at nights.

There's a definite connection between the quality of my sleep and vigorous mental or physical activity during the prior waking period. I also sleep better when I'm happy, and/or have money in the bank.

No, it is not a problem.

It only a problem with Samsung phones. Apple phones are completely safe.

Was thinking the same thing.
