Stop Sleeping on your iPhone Place on Airplane Mode By: Lauren Kolacki In 2017, an estimated 223 million people in the U.S used a smart phone. Of those people, how many are sleeping with them close by? Huff Post conveyed a survey and the results are as follows, among 1,000 checking or savings account holders, age 18 and above, who also own smartphones, 71 percent claimed they usually sleep with or next to their mobile phone. Is this population aware of the consequences that accompany these actions? Cell phones pump out electromagnetic radiation whenever they are turned on. One of the negative effects of electromagnetic radiation is its capability to destruct DNA in the cells. In this case, damaged DNA alters the way the cell works, grows, and reproduces. For those who use their phone as an alarm clock, there is a painless fix. By putting your phone on “airplane mode” you shut down the transceiver, which dramatically lessens the amount of radiation that is produced. By reducing your exposure to electromagnetic radiation, you put yourself at less of a risk for other health concerns.
