Is it safe to keep Mobile Phones on with wifi while we are sleeping and put it beside us? Or should we switch it off?
Jul 28, 2014

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
There has been a number of reports describing several adverse effects of keeping the cell phone in close proximity especially to the head, as its waves may interfere with the brain waves (thus causing sleep disturbance/disorders), and some cases of brain tumors, namely a tumor known as Schwannoma, has been increasingly linked to prolonged and extended exposure to cellular phone waves, though no certain association has yet been established. So it is strongly recommended that you keep your phone at a distance from you, and make sure you never put it underneath the pillow - it will heat up and could actually melt.
