EMFs from mobiles and sleep

True story from a few weeks ago

Awkward Git | May 8, 2025

While off on my jollies in the sun we spent time chatting to one of the barmen who came from a place we knew and he used to work in our favourite hotel in the World so we had a few good chats over the weeks as we were one of the few couples not glued to our mobile phones or tablets and actually tried to speak to people.

We found a few others like us and also got a few to put their mobiles down now and again at times.

Anyway a waiter from one of the restaurants came out to the bar for drinks. We had had a few chats with him in the restaurant he worked in when it was quiet so knew him a bit better than the other passengers did I think.

He was sniffing a bit and said he thinks he was coming down with something so we told him to get some cheap tea tree oil at the next port and sprinkle it over the carpet in his cabin and/or put some on cotton wool and put in the A/C vent topping it up every few days. It kills the bacteria and viruses that breed in the A/C ducts plus smells nice in the room. Taught this trick by an old Australian paramedic at work for keeping A/C borne outbreaks of the cold at bay.

Anyway he didn’t know what it was so as no supervisors were around he whipped out his mobile and we spelt it out for him so he knew what to buy. The barman also gets his mobile out to have a look at what we were on about.

They finish and both put their mobiles in their front pockets.

I must have shuddered or flinched or something as they said “What”?”

Conversation then went something like this:

Me: don’t you want kids?

Them: what do you mean?

Me: haven’t you heard about the big drop in sperm counts in men over the past 10 years?

Them: yes, we have that problem in xxxx and xxxx (both countries on different continents)

Me: think it has anything to do with having a mobile phone or a laptop computer next to your balls emitting EMFs that affect and kill sperm by any chance?

Them: really? EMFs do that?

I nod.

Me: if you must have them leave them under the bar is best but if you must carry them put in a back pocket or even better do what I do and put it in a pocket down your leg with a RFID protection wallet between it and your leg

Both move the mobiles to different pockets and restaurant waiter leaves with the drinks order.

Me: you look tired, sleeping OK?

Barman: not sleeping at all well

Me: do you sleep with your mobile next to the bed and turned on?

Barman: Yes

Me: is it at least 7 ft away from you when you sleep?

Barman: No, it’s next to me as cabin is less than 7 ft wide

Me: turn it off or if you need it for an alarm clock put it on airplane mode

Barman goes off to serve someone else.

Next day the barman says he turned his mobile off and it was the best night’s sleep he had had in years.

I said “you thought I was crazy when I told you didn’t you?” and he said he did but getting a good nights sleep was worth listening to a crazy person if it worked.

3 or 4 days later he said that his sleep was still improving and thank you.

One person at a time.
