My normally sound sleep turned into a sleep nightmare. I felt like I was being shocked awake multiple times a night, every night. My heart had always been regular rhythm. After smart meter was placed my heart was very irregular and pounding. I was foggy headed and twice, two different days, forgot a pot on the stove with the burner on- which if my husband had not come in when he did could have caught fire. The heart and sleep issues happened from day one. When I was away from home at work with no smart meter exposure my heart was absolutely normal. I asked via email 2-3 times for the smart meter to be replaced with an analog meter but they refused. The power company did not honor my request to stop that toxic exposure. They did agree to \"intermittent use\" when my husband phoned them (after the second time I left a pot on a burner for an extended time). Intermittent use of smart meter meant I had symptoms at random times which I assume correlated with their turning it on remotely. Fortunately for me the smart meter stopped working and I am safe/ok again in my own home. That smart meter encounter was terrifying.","attachments":[],"attachment_names":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filing/26110078018","filing_type":"COMMENT","proceedings":"ET 13-84","capture_reviewed":true,"captured_at":"2026-09-29T01:47:05.525Z","supplied_classification":null,"tags":["health-experiences","sleep-neurology","wifi-devices"],"source_hash":"f2679890906d1a682deef9e00a07cb563f6e2a53fde3825002bcb320655c3ace","slug":"health-experiences-filing-26110078018","classification":{"id":"26110078018","body_sha256":"ee9ef938db4a01db8385aabb499a66796887f29fcaf2ac404f95d4952eb604b8","status":"text_matched","primary_topic":"health-experiences","topics":[{"id":"health-experiences","evidence":"Intermittent use of smart meter meant I had symptoms at random times which I assume correlated with their turning it on remotely."},{"id":"sleep-neurology","evidence":"My normally sound sleep turned into a sleep nightmare."},{"id":"wifi-devices","evidence":"When a smart meter was placed on my home by Tacoma Power I had severe reaction."}],"summary":"","method":"Local topic rules v1; exact supporting passages; not an AI or medical review","scope":"Captured filing text only.
