I have read this many years ago, but there must be lots of people who donĀ“t know it yet.
All electric equipment, tv, radio, electric clocks, waterbeds and so on have a transformator and that causes an electric field around them.
In the article I read, they advised all to keep such equipment at least 3 meters or about ten feet from your head, especially when we sleep.
Electric clocks are very common and often rather near us when we sleep so better exchange the clocks to those that have batteries in them.
Has anybody else heard this??

Hi. I didn't knew about this at all that these electric items can cause cancer and other health problems if kept too close.
I can't guide you if it is true. But I am certainly going to keep this one from you in mind. It is quite possible that they are harmful.
I don't have electric clocks and always use battery operated clocks. Get to know me more about this if you could. Good Luck.

I guess you could ask people who work with electricity, there are strict rules on working places about electric fields but in our homes it is a different thing.
Thank you for your response, there must be lots of information on the Internet about this.

I read a article somewhere that men who have there laptop on the laps have a higher risk of gettin testicular cancer as the heat from the laptop causes this.
