You should keep it close for an alarm or just for safety reasons to monitor the consistency of your sleep. The mobile phone isn’t a good companion in sleep, though! As well as bedtime, your phone will hurt you in more ways than you know during the day.

A cell phone is basically an electromagnetic transmitter and receiver. That means it emits radio waves. Although it’s not been proven yet, research continues to show how the waves may affect your brain after being exposed for long hours. It can wake you up with notifications during your sleep cycle, to say the least. If it’s impossible for you to turn it off completely or keep it in another room while you’re asleep, try keeping it on aeroplane mode.

The light from your phone suppresses melatonin, the hormone that controls your sleep cycle which is another reason you shouldn’t be near it when you sleep. Blue light also induces headaches and vision and hearing problems. Try resetting the light levels on your phone and turning on the blue light filter.
