Sleeping with my head right next to an outlet

Anonymous · 2005-02-11T21:24:29+00:00

Is it actually dangerous to have my head right above the electrical outlet because of radiation? This spot is honestly the best place for my bed.

Look, I don't have my room checked out right now. I’m just avoiding lying down in the spots my cat likes. That's it. Plus, my phone is right by my head, there's an outlet above me, and sometimes I charge my phone in that socket.

If I tried to avoid every single thing that could potentially cause me stress, I'd probably drop dead from the anxiety alone.

My cat always ends up sleeping right next to me because she loves being close and finds my bed much warmer.. let me clarify that a bit better. My dog used to sleep in the same spot as me all the time 😁. Something just feels off about that...

I also heard on some podcast that cats actually feed off negative energy... but how is that supposed to be identified or measured??

As for the outlet, it's almost right by my head, just to my left, but I just have to make sure I don't get an impulse to start licking things in my sleep 😁

Look, my cat loves to lounge on the wool rug, or he’ll just burrow himself somewhere—it doesn't matter where. But if there isn't anything on the bed when he decides to fly over there, and I'm lying there with my head down fighting a sore throat for a month straight? Yeah, I'm putting two and two together. 🙂

Try using ants instead. At least they don't cuddle.

Haha, 😁
it just occurred to me... cats seem to love warmth, so I wonder if it's possible that since my cat always sleeps right by the fireplace, there might be some kind of negative energy lingering there? 😁??
And you know, dogs won't sleep by the fireplace, at least mine won't. 😁 😉

Grab a stuffed dog and just leave it there 😁

Some people tend to downplay the whole radiation issue...
But personally, I can't help but wonder if there’s some kind of nasty radiation affecting my own head.
The room where my parents used to sleep was absolutely riddled with it—multiple experts actually confirmed the levels were off the charts—and after sleeping in those rooms for twenty years, they both ended up battling serious cancer before passing away.
Maybe it was just a coincidence. Or maybe it wasn't...

If there is any way to avoid something, I am all for it.
I wouldn't dream of sleeping anywhere near an outlet right by my head, even if some people think that sounds totally irrational.
But I have my own heartbreaking reasons for believing that radiation is nothing to mess with.

I am so sorry; unfortunately, I know exactly how you feel.😢

But I think it’s a bit of a stretch to jump straight to a "common sense" conclusion about the connection between those two things... saying radiation is definitely the sole cause of the tumor... I don't know, I'm certain radiation has a negative impact, but to say it's the only reason for the illness... there are always other factors at play.
Don't let the fear of radiation get to you; just go get a cat and try not to sleep in the same spot she does (just kidding a little).👋

Damn—your phone probably hits you with more radiation in a few minutes than that outlet does in an entire year. 😬
Though, hey, you could always just make a little hat out of aluminum foil. That’ll block the outlet's radiation, and it'll stop aliens and the US government from reading your mind too. Two birds, one stone, right? 👍

You really should be crucified for providing such incomplete and useless information. 😁

An aluminum hat doesn't do anything unless you use a piece of flexible wire to connect it to the outlet's ground pin or some other grounded metal mass in your apartment, like a radiator.

So, you just went ahead and outed me as a deep-state government agent working with aliens—nice one! Please, do us both a favor: step outside, wait for the unmarked black van to pull up, and let them whisk you off to Hyperborea. I hear the Hyperboreans there are pretty wild—you'll love it. Thanks!

Wait, what even is this? Is today officially "Screw Over Every Plan Brian Edwards78 Has to Enslave the World" day? 😠

Technical radiation levels have to be measured with electronic instruments; you aren't going to get an accurate reading with a Geiger counter.

Look, from a health perspective, we’re talking about an alternating field with low intensity and low frequency—meaning very little actual energy—that drops off by the cube of the distance. Honestly, most of us aren't even sensitive enough to notice stuff like that, especially when we're out under the blazing sun all day...

I wish that were true. There’s actually a ton of research on this regarding the impact of high-voltage power lines and substations.

It’s not exactly easy to measure, and figuring out just how much it actually impacts the human body is even tougher.

= When it comes to non-ionizing radiation, we've already done the math—it's been measured and proven. That’s exactly why we have federal safety standards in place, which government agencies establish based on guidelines from international commissions on non-ionizing radiation.=

Also, let's be real—the whole theory regarding Hartman and Curry nodes, along with those water flow radiation patterns, is way too full of holes and inconsistencies for anyone to take seriously at face value. It’s basically just a convenient excuse for a client who wants a quick justification for why they need to move their bed. V. [/B]

The actual impact of non-ionizing radiation, which includes what we're talking about here, isn't flawed or inconsistent. The real issue is that we're stubbornly fighting against the basic logic of natural energy.
