In the modern world, smartphone is our constant companion, even at night. Many are used to leaving it on the bed. But how safe is it?
Modern smartphones and chargers have built -in overheating, overvoltage and short circuit protection systems, so the risk of fire is minimal, but not completely absent.
The most threat is the wrong charging conditions, especially when sleeping, when we do not control the situation. How to charge your phone safe at night? Use a solid, open surface: for example, a bedside table or a shelf is not a bed or a soft mattress. Do not cover your phone: a pillow, plaid or blanket can hold warmth and create a "thermos effect". Keep the smartphone at a distance: ideal - 0.5–1 m from the head to reduce the risk of overheating and the impact of the electromagnetic field. Only buy certified chargers: do not save on safety - it is better to choose the original or products of proven brands. Follow the battery: if your phone is heated, the battery is inflating or odor - stop charging immediately and consult your service.
Sleeping next to a recharging phone is generally safe if you follow the basic rules. Avoid overheating, do not cover the device and use quality equipment. These are simple things that keep not only a gadget but also your peaceful sleep.
