What can sleeping with your phone under your pillows do to you?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably little bad: Other than waking you up when it rings i doubt it would have any detrimental affect.... Maybe someone else has a different answer...

Probably nothing: Believe it or not, your phone and other electronic devices transmit signals even when you are not aware. This is particularly true of smart phones that have background programs running. Not enough to do much to you but electronics in your bedroom are distractions. Typically this decreases your sleep quality through fragmenting your sleep.
