I have felt badly ever since & my husband can't sleep well at all since then. We asked them to change it back & they told us if they did, they would charge us a lot more for electricity which we can't afford. I am really upset about this as I am so worried about the way I feel since then and my doctor can find no physical reason for it. We should certainly have some say when they put these harmful things on our house without our permission. Many of them have also caught on fire which is really worrisome.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1730","tags":["sleep-cognition","exposure-places"],"source_hash":"0b3f823957405289de08ef5dc5b3e6fa9083f60a3ac96de79a05bf5ccb9e6d74","slug":"sleep-cognition-comment-1730","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1730","body_sha256":"ec46ec719fdcf8aadd5144dfd8935f4493ef52af7f5846ba0725aeaf3dd171c8","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"smart-meters","topics":[{"id":"smart-meters","evidence":"witched out our regular electric meter for a smart meter several years ago without letting us know.
