The extensive usage of mobile phones across all age brackets, including children and teenagers, leads to significant exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields (RF-EMF). This exposure raises concerns about potential adverse effects on sleep. The current study aimed to explore the influence of mobile phone-emitted RF-EMFs on the duration and quality of sleep in a cohort of medical students. Participants alternated between sleeping with and without a mobile phone for two-week intervals, while their sleep patterns were monitored using smartwatches. The study results indicated no statistically significant disparities in sleep quality between sleeping with and without a mobile phone. However, exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields had a notable impact on the minimum and average blood oxygen saturation levels.
