Leaving your phone charging overnight? This study will change your habit immediately..

Overnight Phone Charging Tips: These days, smartphones are our companions day and night—while eating, sleeping, and waking up. But even one common habit hides a significant danger: leaving your phone on charge overnight. This habit may seem trivial, but it can impact battery life, temperature, sleep, and safety. In this story, we'll explore why this habit shouldn't be taken lightly, what recent studies and reports say, and how you can safely charge your phone.

Dangers of Overnight Charging
When you sleep with your phone on charge overnight, some seemingly harmless aspects can become dangerous:

Battery Temperature Rise: The battery generates heat during charging. If the phone is placed under a pillow or blanket, the heat can become trapped, causing the temperature to rise by 10-12 degrees Celsius.

Decreased Battery Life: Continuous overnight charging can cause the battery to cycle out faster, meaning it will slow down faster.

Risk of fire or explosion: An overheated battery, faulty charger, or cheap cable increases the risk of a short circuit and fire.

Impact on sleep and health: Keeping the mobile phone close to the head impacts sleep; blue light and RF-EMF exposure can reduce sleep quality. One study found effects on children's immune systems and various organs after 15 minutes of mobile phone use. (For example, one study found a decrease in the subtle energy levels of the pancreas, thyroid, brain, kidneys, and immune system after just 15 minutes of mobile phone use.)

What did the study find?
A recent study divided 61 healthy adolescents into two groups: the mobile phone 'ON' mode group and the 'OFF' mode group. The study found that just 15 minutes of mobile phone use reduced the subtle energy levels of organs such as the pancreas, thyroid, brain cortex, kidneys, liver, spleen, and immune system. This doesn't mean the mobile phone is directly causing organ damage, but it does indicate that the RF-EMF or temperature increase generated by the mobile phone can have temporary biomedical and bioelectrical effects.

If this habit continues daily, the risk may increase in the long term.

Practical Risk Factors
Broken chargers or unauthorized cables: Cheap or uncertified chargers can cause damage to the battery and charging circuit.

Placing the phone on a thick cylindrical surface like a pillow: This blocks the heat outlet and causes the phone to overheat internally.

Placing the phone near the head or in bed: Not only increases the temperature, but it also disrupts sleep.

Leaky batteries or cracked battery cases: Swollen batteries or external damage to the battery significantly increase the risk.

Cautionary Tips
Place your phone on a flat, hard surface, not on a bed or pillow.
Chargers and cables should be government-certified.
It's best to uncharge your phone when it reaches 100% battery charge.
Don't keep your phone near your head or under your pillow while sleeping; keep it at least 30-40 cm away.
Keep your software updated and check your battery health regularly.
If your battery feels cracked or hot, uncharge it immediately and seek service.
