I never thought it could be from the cell towers until I read reports and dove deeper into some other things people have said. I also notice if I keep my phone near me at night I dont sleep well at all. I have noticed sleep disturbances when I keep my phone near, if it’s outside the bedroom I sleep better. Also I noticed a difference if I put my phone on airplane mode it almost seems to lessen the EMF exposure and allow better sleep. When I am near my WiFi router I have this increased feeling of anxiety and strange electrical impulse within my body. All of these I have felt before knowing the information of WIFI and EMF effects. I really think something needs to be done. Something needs to change. My thought on this is if EMF can be used as a weapon against people why are we carrying a phone and having WIFI router around us all the time. I think people should be allowed to have the option of having a regular phone from copper telephone land lines again if they don’t want the exposure. Just like the 80s having a kitchen phone. Also something needs to change for wifi and also EMF exposure from all tech. If I have a computer and I want to connect it to the internet cable I should be able too without worry of EMF exposure from the computer itself. I am so glad this is being researched and studied. I will not be surprised if studies show EMF exposure causes increase in cancers rates and other diseases and mental Health. If people want WiFi make it safer if they don’t make safe options for people who dont want it like I said copper land telephone line phones and ability to have have to use wifi all together and have no exposure from your computer or any tech devices.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4295","tags":["cancer-tumors","sleep-cognition","exposure-places","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"84eee60f5d2446fb4401a5853bc71f8abb6fe36af5fe507584460ac4b42374a7","slug":"cancer-tumors-comment-4295","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4295","body_sha256":"f33aada9e75c81110f7295fe3f0f416774047e6e1bc6392f78b142b919daa3c6","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"neurological","topics":[{"id":"neurological","evidence":"ght I dont sleep well at all.
