Our family and kids are very sensitive to these types of addictions. Our sleep has been disrupted. My kids wake 3-5 times a night. They walk around like zombies some days because of the lack of sleep. My husband and I are restless at night because of the constant buzzing. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence.\n\nI urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4208","tags":["child-development","health-experiences","sleep-cognition","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"74b1f1eb1932b8924157fb45f698e23cba48d8948aee818b874b2471a4d5f9e4","slug":"child-development-comment-4208","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4208","body_sha256":"98c394437ae08d26390814c045a6da9fdd0f863403ce10d5b2ba3527d7ae9b52","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"neurological","topics":[{"id":"neurological","evidence":"very sensitive to these types of addictions.
