Whenever i fall asleep using cell phone , i leave it very close to my forehead unconsciously during the night. next day i get headache due to this which automatically resolves by the evening. why cell phones cause this? any long term danger / risk?

Maybe: Before the era of cell phones, nobody ever got a headache from falling asleep on a cell phone. Since humans evolved over thousands and thousands of years without electronic devices strapped to their heads, the effects of cell phones are still being studied. Safest to not sleep with an electronic device, and also not with an electrically heated bed or blanket.
