Wireless radiation from baby monitors significantly disrupts sleep, study finds

‘In a first-of-its-kind pilot study published in Frontiers in Public Health, researchers examined the impact of radiofrequency (RF) radiation emitted by baby monitors on sleep quality.

In short:

Adults who were exposed to RF radiation emitted by baby monitors (2.45 GHz) over seven nights experienced significantly reduced sleep quality compared to those who were not exposed.
A quarter of the exposed adults reported sleep disruptions that qualified for clinical levels of insomnia risk.
Exposure to RF radiation was also linked to statistically significant changes in EEG readings of brain activity during Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) sleep.

Key quote:

“Until further studies verify or provide evidence contrary to these findings, caution is advised when using RF-EMF devices in bedrooms.”

Why this matters:

High quality sleep is critical for maintaining health, and sleep disruptions have been linked to cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, and impacts to learning and memory. While this study focused specifically on baby monitors, many wireless devices commonly kept in bedrooms – such as cell phones, smart TVs, smart speakers, Wi-Fi routers and gaming systems – emit RF radiation. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends reducing children’s RF exposure and a re-evaluation of government safety limits because children absorb proportionately higher RF radiation into their brain and bodies during sensitive stages of development.’
