Don't worry: Wifi radiation in the house has not been shown to be dangerous. And it's okay if you sleep with wifi on. There are many other, more significant things to be vigilant about... Like sun exposure.

Non-ionizing: Electromagnetic waves sound scary but once you appreciate the physics and biology, there is no risk of dna damage or mutagenesis. Cosmic radiation, from outer space, bombards the planet each day. Some of these waves are ionizing, and all living cells have radiation repair pathways. When these paths are mutated or deficient, there is risk. This is not something to worry about.
