Research finds effects of GSM radiation on sleep

An anonymous reader writes: The effects of mobile phone radiation on sleep were studied in Sweden in a laboratory experiment where subjects were exposed either to 884 MHz GSM radiation or placebo. The study finds that compared to placebo, in the radiation-exposed subjects there was a prolonged latency to reach the first cycle of deep sleep (stage 3). The amount of stage 4 sleep was also decreased. Moreover, participants that otherwise have no self-reported symptoms related to mobile phone use, appear to have more headaches during actual radiofrequency exposure as compared to sham exposure.

*sigh*

(I swear to God, when I first opened this article, I thought it was about a study on the effects of GSM radiation on _sheep_! As you might imagine, that made it all the more interesting when I came across references to "self-reported symptoms"! :-)

CellPhones = Sleep Deprivation = Cancer

Maybe this explains the tenacious link (or pseudo-link) between cell phones and cancer. Or is it just a biological conspiracy theory?
