Keeping your phone nearby while sleeping may pose three health risks
The report shows that using the phone at night negatively affects sleep quality and delays the feeling of sleepiness, due to the light’s impact on the secretion of melatonin, the hormone that regulates the sleep cycle. Additionally, continuously scrolling through videos and notifications increases brain alertness and makes relaxation difficult, which can lead to sleep disturbances, especially in children and teenagers. Moreover, the rising temperature of the phone's battery during use, particularly when charging under pillows, poses personal safety risks and increases the chance of fire, although such incidents are rare. To reduce these risks, it is advised not to place the phone under the pillow, keep it away from the bed, activate “Do Not Disturb” mode, avoid screens an hour before sleep, and replace screen time with activities that promote relaxation to improve sleep quality and personal safety.
