Turn off Wi-Fi and mobile internet on your smartphone before you go to sleep: Why it's so important

The smartphone has become such an integral part of our lives that many people go to bed with it under their pillow and without turning off Wi-Fi. Experts believe that you should disconnect from the Internet before going to bed.

Connecting to the Internet at night can be dangerous for several reasons. Read about the main ones in the article by OBOZREVATEL.

All smartphones emit SAR - and this is the main reason why you should not turn on Wi-Fi at night. The electromagnetic impact occurs even when the gadget is not active.

In addition, it's also a matter of saving battery power. According to experts, by turning off the network at night, the smartphone can "rest" and save charge, because connecting to the Internet is very draining. This rule is especially important for smartphones over 3 years old.

But it is not so simple. There is another point of view, according to which, if the gadget is connected to a stable Wi-Fi point, it will not greatly affect the drop in battery power. But the mobile Internet or GPS can really increase the time of discharging the phone by 15-20%.

Also it is advised to pay attention to the security nuances. If there is an auto-connection installed on your smartphone, the gadget can accidentally connect to a dangerous network, which will lead to leakage of data and personal information.

And finally - messages and alerts at night can significantly reduce the quality of sleep, so you should reduce the influence of the smartphone as a distraction.
