Previous research has suggested that exposure to radiofrequency
electromagnetic fields increases electroencephalogram spectral power in
non-rapid eye movement sleep. Other sleep parameters have also been
affected following exposure. We examined whether aspects of sleep
architecture show sensitivity to electromagnetic fields emitted by
digital mobile phone handsets. Fifty participants were exposed to
electromagnetic fields for 30 min prior to sleep. Results showed a
decrease in rapid eye movement sleep latency and increased
electroencephalogram spectral power in the 11.5-12.25 Hz frequency range
during the initial part of sleep following exposure. These results are
evidence that mobile phone exposure prior to sleep may promote rapid eye
movement sleep and modify the sleep electroencephalogram in the first
non-rapid eye movement sleep period.
