Turning WiFi off at night..

[Kelwar]

Hi all, I’m interested to get some feedback on what people think of WiFi really affecting people's health or wether it’s all in their head.. I have neighbours who are requesting we turn our WiFi off at night as none of them are sleeping and now they are all sleeping on floors (kids too) in rooms away from our house.. I’ve read lots of Fors and againsts and so far have not found any scientific proof that WiFi is really causing issues for people, that said, I don’t want people to not be sleeping (especially kids) because of something I am doing wrong.. which is basically what I’ve been told ..My family (children too) all sleep fine.. what do you think?

Bsc - I know!!!😂 I did stifle a giggle.. I feel for their children because their parents are mental and they are putting this on to them.. their daughter felt she had to apologise to us for ‘disturbing us re the WiFi!’ Poor girl.. I told her SHE needn’t apologise

How would they know if your wifi is on or off, sounds a bit bizarre.

Do they also wear hats made of tinfoil??

Jesus. I feel for the daughter to be honest, I wonder how long until she's on MN posting about her batshit crazy parents...

I know people who dismiss wifi as hokum pokum in regards to health issues but a friend of mine one day randomly asked me to check if my phone bluetooth was on as she was getting a head ache. Sure enough it was on. Always made sure that it was off after that and she didn't mention it at all again until about 9 months later. I went to hers for a coffee and within 15 minutes she was pale and had a head ache. I had left my bluetooth on as it was a new phone and I had no idea how it worked. She knew what it was very quickly.

My lot all sleep better on the nights where they haven't tidied their bedrooms and I turn the wifi off. And I do think in the future we will be in for some nasty shocks as to what all this causes.

Bluetooth is the exact same type of radiation as a phone, HellsBells, except at a lower intensity. There's no way someone would be made ill by Bluetooth but not by being in the proximity of a switched-on phone. And when they do double-blind trials of people who swear they are "sensitive to radiation", they can't tell when the devices are turned on and when they're not.

My aunt has this. She is completely sane and while very unusual now I think in 50 years, with massive exposure to WiFi, there will be more evidence to suggest some people are more sensitive to electro radiation...stuff than we could possibly know now.

There is a thing called screening paint and your neighbours could paint the connecting wall in their house (and cover it up with white paint because it’s black) and it stops WIFI or mobile phone signal getting through or whatever it is. Even if their problem is merely psychological it would be a kind thing to suggest to them and they might feel better. They also have the added bonus of not affecting you and your WiFi at all with it!

Turkishsilkrug - yes that is also a suggestion I will consider, although I expect she has thought of everything.. but their daughter has now said they have discovered the reason they weren’t sleeping is it was because of an underground stream running behind our houses.. interfering with the water in their bodies (I live on top of a hill and have lived here 17 years and never heard of this!!) so they have changed their story to something even more bizarre.. they are nuts to be honest.. 2 weeks after they moved in their children who were 9 and 11 at the time were playing at my house with my children, my family were over as it was Easter Sunday.. the mum and dad knocked on the door to say they were going out and handed me keys for their children to their house.. they didn’t know me or my husband from Adam.. we thought that in itself was very odd.. that and the fact that they send their children out to everybody on the street but never return the favour.. and their daughter has often told me they are never cook them dinner... they are too nutty for me so I’m just keeping my distance.. there is a mental health issue going on there that is not healthy and I don’t want my children around it either..
