| Do mobile phones affect sleep?: investigating effects of mobile phone exposure on human sleep EEG (2008) | |||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||
| This paper will summarize the results of a human volunteer study on the effects on sleep parameters of exposure to RF emissions from a mobile phone handset for 30min prior to going to sleep. A cohort of 55 volunteers were tested over 4 nights in a double-blind design. The significant outcomes were: Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep latency reduced by 16%; EEG alpha power enhanced by 8% during 1st non-REM period. These results are compared for overall internal consistency and with studies from other laboratories. Part of the program of the Australian Centre for Radiofrequency Bioeffects Research extending these studies is described. | |||||||||||||
