Radiation from mobile phones stimulates brain activity in the early stages of sleep even after you've finished using the phone, an Australian study shows.

Associate Professor Andrew Wood from the Brain Sciences Institute at Melbourne's Swinburne University says his study also found that exposure to electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones can reduce levels of the hormone melatonin, which is connected to the body's sleep-wake cycle.

But the study, reported in the International Journal of Radiation Biology, says it's premature to conclude that talking on your mobile phone before bed will get in the way of a good night's sleep.

I don't like cell phones.

If I have to talk on them, I talk on them very sparingly.

There is also the accusation, that people who are around cell phones, all of the time, develop headaches.

Until recently, all radio waves were from far away places. Now the transmitters are in our houses and next to our brains. The signals must do something to us. I don't think there is any way they could not. The question is "what?"

But the technology is so recent that no one can speak with any certainty about long term effects on humans, or lack thereof.
