The Low Down On EMFS

Hey Rise Centered Community,

Erin here! Lately, we've been getting a ton of questions about EMFs- What are they? Why do they matter? And most importantly, how many EMFs do our Sunrise Alarm Clocks emit? (Spoiler: barely any.) We get it-EMFs can feel like a mystery, so we're breaking it down with a back-to-basics guide on the science behind them, plus a comparison between our clock and others on the market. Because when it comes to your sleep and wellness, we believe knowledge is power. Let's dive in!

WHAT ARE EMFS?

EMFs, or electromagnetic fields, are areas of energy created by electrically charged objects, like WiFi routers, Bluetooth devices, chargers, power outlets, smartphones, or microwaves (to name a few).

IT’S A SPECTRUM 

EMF emissions range from low to high. High-frequency EMFs are emitted by X-rays and UV rays, and are known to be harmful with prolonged exposure. Low-frequency EMFs are found everywhere in modern life –  from WiFi routers, to Bluetooth devices, and smartphones. The risks associated with low-frequency EMFs aren't severe, but may still impact health. 

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE? 

Consistent exposure to high EMFs have been linked to increased cancer risk (WHO, IARC). Wireless signals (like WiFi and Bluetooth) may contribute to disrupted sleep & melatonin suppression, altered circadian rhythm and increased restlessness.

YOUR BEDROOM, YOUR SAFE SPACE

The closer you are to devices that emit EMFs, the higher your risk of experiencing health consequences. When we sleep next to devices that use Bluetooth or WiFi, the EMFs from these devices can result in restless sleep and a confused circadian rhythm. 

Our Sunrise Alarm Clock is one of the lowest EMF emitters on the market, because it doesn't use WiFi or Bluetooth to function, so your sleep can be as uninterrupted and deep as possible.

In support of your wellness journey,
Erin & The Rise Centered Team
