Try sleeping for a week with your cell phone on airplane mode and your wifi unplugged. It certainly won't kill you but it causes oxidative stress on your cells. 5G just ups the intensity to 11.

What you're saying has quite literally no basis in fact.

Counter to it significantly, there's a heap more powerful non-ionizing transmission than things you have locally in very similar bands, like hundreds of kilowatt TV and FM radio transmitters. Any "effect" you would be seeing is placebo or nocebo depending on the state of your "airplane mode" switch.

don't forget the lights in your room, much higher output and much higher frequencies than your phone.

This is a prime example of confirmation bias, you think it's having a positive effect therefore it's having a positive effect. It's a sugar pill.

This nonsense is no better than anti-vax parents that believe because two kids at her children's school were diagnosed with autism and had vaccines that it must mean vaccines cause autism.

If you're going to make claims like this, at least provide some evidence otherwise it's not constructive to make such claims.

What is this supposed to do?

Presumably, offer a sense of relaxation and peace - mostly through a combination of the placebo effect and not spending so much time looking at the internet, I guess!

I guess you won't be bothered with app notifications, unwanted calls or sms messages. That's about it.
