There are a multitude of ways EMF radiation affects our health, but a few specific ways it affects our sleep:
EMF radiation and melatonin production
Firstly, EMF radiation affects sleep because it is known to reduce the amount of melatonin we produce. The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Melbourne conducted a study on this very point.
They discovered that EMFs interfere with the body's production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates our sleep and wakefulness. The main reason is that the pineal gland (the organ that produces melatonin and other hormones) interprets the electrical nature of EMF radiation as a source of light. Thinking it's still light outside, or in the room, it limits our melatonin production in an effort to combat this.
The summary of the studies ends with :
"...the results show the importance of melatonin disruption due to exposure to low EMFs, which may eventually lead to long-term effects on human health."
So we know that electromagnetic radiation can affect the quantity and quality of our sleep. Knowing this, it's easy to understand the effect of hemorrhage on our health.
Sleep is extremely important for our body's ability to repair and renew itself. During sleep, cells regenerate and detoxify, and without adequate sleep, they are unable to complete this work. When our cells aren't healthy, it also affects our organs and their ability to do their job.
Unhealthy cells can also lead to mutations and neuronal disorders. It's not for nothing that when companies making EMF protection products advertise their products, they often show cells before and after the use of their products.
Not only are our cells disrupted when we don't sleep, but EMF radiation can also have a direct effect on our cells. In a study by the Weston A Price Foundation, they clearly showed that cell phone radiation affects our body's ability to produce healthy cells.
In addition to all this, studies have also shown that exposure to EMFs can disrupt our circadian rhythm (our body's internal clock) and considerably reduce the quality of our sleep.
EMF radiation disrupts circadian rhythms
A 2012 study published in the Iranian Journal of Science and Engineering found that employees at high-voltage substations had much worse sleep due to their frequent exposure to EMFs during working hours. The study looked specifically at sleep quality, not just quantity.
So it's entirely reasonable to assume that when we sleep through the night but wake up feeling drowsy, or haven't had a good rest, that EMF radiation could be responsible and should certainly be investigated.
In 2007, the World Health Organization published Monograph 238 on environmental health criteria. The purpose of this document was to summarize research on EMF radiation and its effects on human health. Chapter 5 (5.2.5 to be precise) summarizes previous research, adding the following points
"Sleep is a complex biological process controlled by the central nervous system and is necessary for overall health and well-being. The possibility that EMFs may have a detrimental effect on sleep has been examined in two studies. Using EEG to assess sleep parameters, Åkerstedt et al. (1999) reported that continuous exposure of healthy volunteers to 50 Hz at 1 µT at night caused sleep disturbances. In this study, total sleep duration, sleep efficiency, slow-wave sleep (stages III and IV) and slow-wave activity were significantly reduced by exposure, as was subjective sleep depth. Graham & Cook (1999) reported that intermittent, but not continuous, exposure to 60 Hz, 28 µT magnetic fields at night resulted in a decrease in total sleep duration, a reduction in sleep efficiency, an increase in stage II sleep duration, a decrease in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep duration and an increase in latency to the first REM period. Consistent with a poor and interrupted sleep pattern, volunteers exposed to the intermittent field also reported sleeping less well and feeling less rested in the morning."
Alright, now that we've gone into detail about how EMF radiation affects our sleep, let's talk a bit about how to combat this.
Obviously, our primary aim will be to reduce EMF radiation in the bedroom.
