Wifi At Night Disrupts Sleep: It's Official
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are all around us - the biggest sources are mobile phone towers and wifi in the home and homes that surround us. Naturopaths have, for years, known of the impact of EMFs on sleep, but now the results of a research study are in! And they confirm that EMF exposure overnight can cause insomnia.
Dr Nicole Bijlsma, author of the study and pioneer of environmental toxin exposure and ill health, discusses the study results and the concept of toxic synergy in susceptible people.
