Are there any risks of sleeping with ur cellphone next to ur head?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Radiofrequency: Cell phones are a source of radio frequency radiation, however at this time, there is lack of significant evidence to show that cell phones can lead to an increased risk to formation of brain tumors. Many of the studies already done have biases or data that is not conclusive.
