I Phone
Numerous studies have already emphasised the possible dangers and negative effects of sleeping next to your phone, highlighting the potential harm to users’ health and general wellbeing.
Apple, the maker of iPhones, has sent a strong and obvious warning to people who frequently fall asleep holding their smartphones, especially when the gadget is plugged up to a charger. The online user manual from Apple has this caution.

The tech company specifically discourages charging iPhones on soft materials like blankets, cushions, or your body and recommends charging them only in well-ventilated spaces and on flat surfaces like tables.
As stated in the caution, heat is produced while an iPhone is charging. It runs the risk of sparking fires or, in more serious situations, causing burns when this heat cannot be quickly expelled because of restricted confines. Therefore, one of the riskiest behaviours that smartphone users might engage in is to sleep with a charging phone under your pillow.
The main message being directly communicated by the technology company is as follows: “Avoid sleeping on a connected device, power adapter, or wireless charger, or putting them beneath a blanket, pillow, or your body. When using or charging your iPhone, keep it, the power adapter, and any wireless charger in a well-ventilated space. If your physical health makes it difficult for you to feel heat against your body, take extra precautions.
