Hi, Bear, it's Matt here and welcome back to the podcast and welcome back to another of our AMA episodes.

Ask Me Anything episodes.

Once again, I am joined by the definitive voice in sleeve, the exponentially insightful Dr. Iti Ben-Simon.

Ety, Eti, Eti, welcome back to the show.

Thank you, man. It's great to be here.

Should we just do what we do? Drive straight in or dive straight in? Why don't we dive straight in?

sleeping next to your phone can affect your brain waves? My mom keeps sending me articles about this.

I like to hear that everybody's mom does that. Yeah, I know. I love the fact that your mom does that,

and it's born out of a deep desire to just keep you

healthy and care for you as wonderful moms do.

But the concern that sleeping near a smartphone and that it disrupts your brainwaves or your

sleep quality, I would say at best, it's probably controversial.

There is some scientific basis for it in the literature, and you may know some of this too,

but the electromagnetic fields or the EMFs, which is sort of the concern that we have with

these devices, they do emit these devices low levels

of radio frequency electromagnetic radiation, which is a very long word, which is simply simplified

as RFEMR, radio frequency, electro-magnetic radiation.

And some studies, not all of them, and some have certainly contested this,

suggests that those radio frequency EMRs could affect sleep architecture.

I think there was a 2007 study that explored exposure to mobile

phone radiation before bed. And I think the evidence there, and it was a great team of researchers,
