Standard Digital Clock
Smart Clock with Bluetooth/Wi-Fi
In our busy lives today, many of us turn to devices like Alexa/Echo or other smart alarm clocks to help us wake up and get our day started. Many of us use our handy cell phones as a means of getting up on time. Convenient, isn’t it? Of course, yes. However, because of the amount of EMF radiation emitted by a cell phone or other Wi-Fi device, many recommend keeping these devices at a safe distance from you while you sleep.
And considering we spend about 33% of our lives sleeping or trying to sleep, it might be worth knowing just how much EMF your alarm clock emits. To get a clearer picture, try our Digital Alarm Clock EMF Calculator.
If you’re interested in exploring low-EMF alarm clocks that could reduce your nightly exposure, check out this guide on the best low-EMF alarm clocks for some safe and stylish options.
Do Digital Clocks Emit EMF?
All digital alarm clocks give off an electromagnetic field. Whether your clock is plugged into the wall or powered by batteries, it still emits electromagnetic fields. With the growth of wireless technology, many alarm clocks now give off wireless radiation because they use Bluetooth technology. Sleeping in these electromagnetic fields interferes with your body’s electromagnetic field and can cause several symptoms:
Irregular heartbeats, sleep disturbances, insomnia, headaches, hypertension, anxiety, and nightmares.
Life is already full of stress. No one needs their digital alarm clock to create even more stress. Also, sleeping in an EMF field can speed up the aging process by disrupting the body’s ability to do its usual nightly cellular repair. Which completely defeats the purpose of “restful sleep.”
The average digital alarm clock emits a field of up to 5 to 10 milligauss at a distance of up to 3 feet. Most people sleep with an alarm clock less than 12 inches from their head, leaving them exposed to this dangerous EMF field all night long.
The Wisdom of Ancient Cultures on Sleep
Both the ancient practice of Feng Shui and the traditional Indian healing system of Ayurveda highlight just how important sleep is for our healing process. Therefore, traditional Feng Shui focuses heavily on clearing spaces of all stressful electromagnetic fields, both natural and man-made sources.
According to Ayurveda, sleep is “the best-wet nurse” and always recommends getting enough quality sleep when recovering from a chronic illness, surgery, or after giving birth. Sleeping in an electromagnetic field impairs our ability to heal and can make us feel more tired when we wake up than when we go to bed.
If you need to recover from an infection, sleeping in a room free of EMF can greatly help your body fight infection, as viruses, fungi, and bacteria thrive in electromagnetic fields.
Battery-Operated Alarm Clocks vs. Electric Alarm Clocks
So, which is better for emitting the least amount of EMF radiation: the battery-operated alarm clock or the plug-in electric alarm clock?
Answer: Battery-operated alarm clock.
We can all agree that using your mobile phone or an Echo/Alexa device as your primary alarm clock is worse than using an electric or battery-powered alarm clock. That said, plugged-in alarm clocks usually emit more EMF radiation because their cords connect to electrical outlets, which are already sources of EMF.
That doesn’t mean, however, that battery-operated alarm clocks are free of EMF radiation. Many can emit a high level of EMF radiation as well. However, there are battery-operated alarm clocks that emit relatively small amounts of EMF radiation. You can use our calculator to get a clearer idea of what your current alarm clock is emitting.
Final Thoughts
Low EMF radiation alarm clocks can be a better option for your health compared to using a cell phone or other similar devices. Also, they can be quite stylish in a simple, nostalgic way. Sure, you can’t use it to browse the internet or text your friends, but when you keep in mind, the simple goals of helping you sleep, wake up on time, and know what time it’s. We believe a little old-fashioned is a safer bet and can still be a stylish choice.
If you don’t want to switch back to a mechanical wind-up alarm clock for a healthier sleep environment, you might consider investing in Orgone Bamboo Blanket to wrap yourself in protection. The Orgone Bamboo Blanket allows you to wrap yourself in protection as it is imbued with octaves of frequency that create and bring to life a strong resonance of negative ions that are used for energy healing or orgone therapy, making them the best natural sleep aids for the body.
You can also purchase an EMF protection product like the EMF Harmonizer from Orgone Energy. It consistently generates healthy and beneficial negative ions that work harmoniously neutralizing your entire property and home to its boundaries, counteracting each one of these destructive energies such as radiation, electromagnetic frequencies, and radio frequency.
