We sleep for approximately one third of our lives; at least we should do. Now surveys show that we now have an epidemic of poor sleep. At least one third of the population suffers with interrupted or poor quality sleep. There are many possible causes, stress probably being the biggest one, but maybe there is another area that we hadn’t considered; electrosmog.

Electrosmog is the amount of electromagnetic pollution that we are surrounded by when sleeping. There are ways to reduce it though.

Get some fresh air flowing through the bedroom. That’s no so easy in the winter though. So, prepare for your sleep by switching off and unplugging all electrical equipment, so there’s nothing on standby in the background. Turn off your mobile, and for most of us that is the difficult one, particularly if like me you let it charge overnight!!

Check your lightbulbs too. The low energy ones aren’t as environmentally friendly as you think as they can emit low levels of electrical pollution, so the old fashioned ones are best.

If you are suffering from poor sleep it’s all worth a try. Sweet dreams.
