I read an article probably about a year ago and just started thinking about it. It said if you charge your phone at night and leave it next to your head and you fall asleep… You don’t sleep better or something.. I can’t remember. But, do cell phones really mess with your body’s brain waves?

    No, they are quite harmless.
    The scare stories are all frauds put out by people with an agenda to extort money from network providers and cellphone manufacturers.
    Remember that the single most authoritive (and that’s stretching it by a very wide margin) “study” showed that in people with brain cancer, out of a group of 8 patients, 4 of which were given cellphones and 4 were not, 1 of those 4 with a phone showed a slight increase in the rate at which their tumour growed.
    That’s far too small a sample to tell anything bad is going on. And even if it told anything, it would tell that existing tumours might under some conditions grow faster when subjected to radio emissions from a cellphone.
    What DOES mess with your brain is reading scare stories made up by conspiracy theorists and fraudulent pseudoscientists like that that claim your phone will mess up your brain.

    No one knows for sure. But it’s safe to say that our brain has not evolved to protect itself against cell phone signals. It can’t be that healthy. There are also studies showing that people who have wi-fi at home don’t sleep as well as people who don’t. It could be like a constant noise that your ears can’t hear but your brain can feel. To be safe, consider this stuff possibly toxic.

    Possibly yes. It messes with our alpha wave according to this article.

    I doubt it unless someone has scientific proof proving other wise.
