My mom also told that to me that I should not put my cellphone beside me while I am sleeping Because she said that the radiation has a negative effect on us.I just follow her directions better that I will do it than it's too late.

Hi, I am lucky that My Mom doesn't tell me anything like this. I always keep my cell phone near my pillow, as it help me in getting early in the morning and also most of my friends work in night shifts and they sms me during his time.

i have not thought about this. all this time, for years now i had my cellular phone close to my head, actually above my head, or under the pillow. but i think i have not experienced anything that i can associate with the cellular phone.

Hi bossdonn45, whether it's true or not sleeping with cell phone close to our head part would cause harm to us. However this still remains to be proved. To me I prefer to sleep with my cell phone at least a meter away from me for the purpose of safety As what I know it's believed that the radiation from the communication device may affect the health of our brain if it's too near to our head all time. In case what the saying is proven to be authentic we are still safe right?! Happy posting

There are a lot of advantages of using a mobile phone. So far all the supposed disadvantages like radiation and stuff have not been fully proved I think. So I think the advantages are more than the disadvantages.

I guess it's not safe with your cellphone next to you because you might break it in half. Other than that, I can't think of another reason why it's not safe to do it. It can't be the radiation because you're not answer the phone.

The radiation from cell phones can hurt you if you keep your cell phone very close by, and the light from it and the ever-present urge to use it can affect your sleep. So, aside from cancer and insomnia, there's nothing much wrong with it. ;D

Cell phones emit Electro-magnetic radiation, which causes decease like cancer, brain tumor. EM radiations are not good for all living thing. It brings some slight changes in our daily life. Low tolerance, being fractious, short-tempered etc. are some effects of using phone in excess.

The Strength of the radio frequency electro magnet field associat with the phone diminishes very rapidly as you move the phone away. There's much lower exposure from phone wich is at some distance with the individual. The same thing is relevant for base atation associated with several order of lowr exposure because of distance from pepole there not sleep with your cell phone.
