00:00Do you keep your phone right next to you while you sleep?
00:02Dr. Brian Boxer-Wachler says you might want to rethink that.
00:06Most of us scroll away before bed or set our alarms and tuck it nearby.
00:11But have you ever thought about the potential risks?
00:14Dr. Wachler explains two simple tips to reduce any potential exposure to electromagnetic fields, or EMFs.
00:21EMFs are low-level waves emitted by mobile phones.
00:25Although there's no conclusive evidence about health risks,
00:28some studies suggest kids might be more vulnerable to them than adults.
00:33So, what can you do?
00:35Dr. Wachler's first suggestion is to invest in a Faraday pouch, a special case that blocks EMFs.
00:41With this, your phone's right there, but the EMFs stay contained.
00:45No pouch? No problem!
00:48Dr. Wachler's second suggestion is even simpler.
00:51Just switch your phone off at night.
00:53It's an easy step that guarantees you a better, distraction-free rest.
00:58If nothing else, try moving your phone further from your bed.
01:01So, ready to sleep better tonight?
