EMF Safe Sleep Space

What To Do for EMF Sleep Protection

Why Create a Safe Sleep Space for EMF Sleep Protection?

Focussing on and protecting yourself from EMFs while you sleep is the first place you should start in addressing EMF protection. By giving your body 8 hours of rest from the destructive waves emitted by electronic technologies, you allow your body to reset and heal.

Studies show, experts are more worried about long-term, chronic exposures to EMF, like those experienced nightly, than about brief daily exposures. By creating an environment where you've removed this stress, you'll get improved sleep quality, reduced stress, and a stronger immune system, contributing to overall better health and well-being.

TIP: Use a power strip to easily turn off multiple electronics and appliances at once when not in use. This will reduce both EMF and energy consumption.

EMF Sleep Protection Checklist

Cellphone EMF Protection

Stopping cellphone usage at night is a hard habit to break. The truth is, holding that phone is shown to disrupt sleep, increase EMF exposure, and negatively affect overall rest and well-being.

  1. Remove cellphones from the bedroom if possible

  2. Never rest a phone, laptop, or any electric device directly on your chest at night.

  3. Set the phone into 'airplane mode and turn off all 5 antennas

  4. Consider putting your phone in a faraday bag while sleeping if you want to keep it close.

  5. Never hold or sleep near a phone that is charging.

  6. Never hold your phone or any electronic device while grounding

Router Protection

Routers can disrupt and keep you from falling to sleep by emitting EMFs that interfere with your circadian rhythm and melatonin production.

  1. Never put an active router in your bedroom

  2. Turn off the router in the house each night

  3. Consider using a physical ethernet cable in your home and turn off the Wifi.

Home Wiring Protection

Knowledge of the true condition of your home wiring is crucial to minimize exposure and prevent potential health risks.

  1. Unplug all electronics in the room including lamps and chargers. Simply turning things off does not remove the emf.

  2. Position your bed so you are not laying near any outlets

  3. Do not use a plugged-in electric blanket or heating pad. If you do use something electric to heat up your bed, unplug it before sleeping.

  4. Never sleep near a wall that has an electric meter, panel, or appliance on the other side of it.

  5. Consider installing a circuit breaker smart switch to turn the power off at the breaker for the bedroom each night.

Power lines outside of bedroom that could disrupt your sleep

Neighborhood EMF Protection

Use a magnetic field meter to take measurements of your outside EMF. Cellphone towers and high-voltage power lines can raise EMF levels throughout the entire house.

  1. Position your bed so you are not getting EMF through your window from towers outside.

  2. Paint your bedroom walls with EMF shielding paint

  3. Install EMF shielding film on your windows

  4. Shield your bed with a Faraday canopy

TIP: "Use a magnetic field meter to take measurements of inside and outside your home."

My Top 5 'Good Sleep' Tips

1

Neutralize unnatural Bedroom EMF. Use practical mitigation practices. Employ shielding methods and eliminate electronic gadget use near your bed.

2

Connect with the Earth. Grounding balances your body’s electromagnetic field and reduces stress, enhancing relaxation and sleep quality.

3

Connect with the Sun. First thing in the morning even if overcast. Sunlight helps regulate your circadian rhythm and melatonin production, crucial for sleep.

4

Maintain a regular sleep schedule. Consistency helps regulate your body's internal clock. Aim to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends.

5

Create a comfortable sleep environment. Keep your room cool (60-67°F or 15-19°C) and dark. Use earplugs or a white noise machine to minimize disruptions.
