What happens if you don't turn off Wi-Fi on your phone before sleep?

Wireless internet has become commonplace: most gadgets constantly hold onto Wi-Fi. But along with this, the question increasingly arises whether such a habit affects well-being and whether it makes sense to turn off the connection at night.

As reported by BAKU.WS, novyny.live explained whether it makes sense to turn off Wi-Fi on your phone at night.

Smartphones and other devices at home connected to the network continuously create electromagnetic radiation. Logic suggests simply turning off Wi-Fi, but then some functions stop working without internet - hence the doubts about whether to disable the connection specifically on the phone before sleep.

There are several reasons why this might be beneficial, and most of them relate to health and comfort. Turning off Wi-Fi at night reduces the impact of electromagnetic radiation, and also helps to reach for the screen less before sleep and not get distracted when you're already trying to fall asleep.

Some studies link turned-off Wi-Fi with reduced anxiety: sleep quality may improve since notifications, vibrations, and other irritants don't disturb you.

There's also a practical bonus - saving battery. Without an active connection, the smartphone discharges more slowly, which can positively affect battery life, especially on older models.

It's worth considering the security aspect too: with certain settings, your phone can automatically connect to available networks while you sleep. Such "travels" create risk if the device connects to a dangerous or harmful network. Turning off Wi-Fi at night eliminates this threat as well.

Remember, attempts to save on electricity by turning off the Wi-Fi router at night can have the opposite effect. Specialists warn: this can worsen internet performance, lead to additional costs, and even create security gaps.
