There's a glaring omission of the research on sleep effects. The effects of cellphones on sleep was just reviewed in Microwave News (Feb 22). There were studies in the US around 1990 showing no effect from continuous 60Hz magnetic fields, but sleep disruption from intermittent fields. This is similar to what's been seen in animals on melatonin production: no change from a gradual rotation in the earth's field, but clear reduction if the field is rotated suddenly. There was an IEEE review by James C. Lin on microwave studies. Physicsjock ( talk) 22:06, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
Microwave radiation disrupts the bodies natural synchronicity with the earths Schumann resonances
is
WP:FRINGE/PS — whatever Schumann resonances are, they have nothing to do with microwave radiation used in our homes.

whatever Schumann resonances areYou clearly didn't even take the time to check any of my provided info.
( talk page stalker) - I actually did review the sources provided by Nanobee. One was a paper that made some generalizations about human brainwave activity. Another was a paper that made some generalizations about microwave radiation. Another was a paper that made some generalizations about cell phone emissions and safety standards. Etc. None of them concluded any of what was in the text that Nanobee added. It's classic WP:SYNTHESIS. - LuckyLouie ( talk) 16:46, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
I don't want to be accused of anything silly so I want to note the revert that happened recently (12/8/2021) was me editing while accidentally logged out. Simonm223 ( talk) 13:53, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
More input on the effects of electromagnetic radiation on sleep and related health issues requested. Bokidam ( talk) 03:16, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
The article starts with a Hazards section, followed a long trek through the electromagnetic spectrum. However, the Hazards are only directed at radio and microwaves, which is nutty since that is the end of the spectrum which is almost completely harmless. The article does not even mention the EM radiation that is instantly dangerous, Xrays, and Gamma rays.
Seems to me the the Hazards ought to be "Role of dosage" or something like that. Johnjbarton ( talk) 01:52, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
