Cellphones = mindcontrol?

Well at least when your sleeping - maybe.
An Australian study suggests that cell phones by your bedside table may have an effect on your sleeping patterns - specifically by heightening alpha waves and reducing amounts of melatonin. The brain wave results were observed in the first stage of sleep. These results "don't seem to influence how well you sleep, unless the phones ring at all hours or you've had a particularly exciting conversation. " says Andrew wood the studies lead author.
