So apparently mobile phones give you a hard night's sleep. news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7199659.stmIf you can't be bothered to read it, basically if you use your mobile before you go to bed, you'll have trouble sleeping or getting a good night's sleep. Trouble is, the article didn't say what actual amount of time was required to let the effect wear off, or if it's prolonged exposure or instant/short term exposure that causes it. All they know is that certain frequencies from phones do something to your brain and give you trouble sleeping. This is the 2nd or 3rd experiment I've read about involving mobile phones, no one really knows how a mobo affects you overall at the moment since we haven't had time to see how the technology affects us in society over the long term, so no one go shooting their mouth off and start doom-mongering about sterility/brain tumours or whatever. Just thought it would be cool to share, if someone is calling you by mobile before you go to bed, don't pick it up! ;D Also, although it wasn't procedurally involved in the experiments, if you're getting a phone call late at night before you sleep, chances are it's bad news or an emergency and you end up stressed out, also giving you trouble sleeping. That or the participants were neurotic about being blasted by radiation and had unpleasant thoughts before sleeping!

True, no matter the broadcaster, the news relies on a few hype tactics to get viewer's attention and ratings, but I would love to get my hands on the actual report from the study, even just the abstract. Also it's a good way to try and train people not to call me or text me late at night If they happen to drop a line I'll just point them in the direction of this article, and then sleep sound in the knowledge that if the phone conversation did make me have a tough time sleeping, at least they got it as well! ;D
