My mother had to stop wearing a smart watch as the EMF created wrist and joint pain while wearing the watch. Additionally, my mother developed a rash around that wrist regardless of the wrist strap. The wrist and joint pain and rash would go away when the watch was off. Therefore, she had to stop wearing it. \n\nI have to place my phone and tablet in airplane mode as I will experience pain in whole body yet especially in my hands and wrist when using those electronics. Additionally, I have to turn off all electronics including the wifi to sleep. Otherwise, I have a hard time falling asleep, staying asleep and getting a restful night of sleep. When my wifi had to have the wires replaced and upgraded, I had the same issues even without the wifi on at night as there was still emf coming through.\n\n","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1593","tags":["sleep-cognition","exposure-places"],"source_hash":"5128f485cd1d79f87a3f728ff8f33c2fcf98ee2a6fb53843f4b83c1623e96a7e","slug":"sleep-cognition-comment-1593","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1593","body_sha256":"081dc0ba370040cc7736a3421670b115954beddba74acd1e1e80eb3aaa0d2484","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"neurological","topics":[{"id":"neurological","evidence":"uding the wifi to sleep.
