Using your Mobile at Night can Cause Weight Gain ... Can it ??????

Not sleeping well?

Leaving social calls till late in the evening can keep you awake ~ especially if you’re using a cell/mobile phone … Using mobiles can interfere with sleep patterns and cause headaches.

Can they?

Dr. Bengt Arnetz from Swayne State University, Detroit, USA, states ‘We think that radio waves from your mobile phone activate your brain’s stress response system …’ The joint study also involving a team of researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden found that radiofrequency released from mobile phones appeared to cause insomnia, headaches and difficulties in concentration.

So it seems that’s why it takes longer to get to sleep / suffer restless sleep!

* Having even one bad night’s sleep has been found to affect blood sugar levels and apparently there is a connection with our ability to save off weight gain.

So its back to the landline – ‘it’s for you’ / ‘no she’s not in’ / ‘she’s washing her hair tonight’ - And maybe a much cheaper phone bill ?
