Is sleeping with ionic dangerous?

[Sports-lover]

Is it dangerous to sleep with an ionic because of the wave radiation and so on? Because apparently it is bad for you to be close to your phone 24/7. Also my WiFi isn’t working even though i tried connecting it allot but that is ok but does WiFi make the battery lower?

The Ionic is designed to be worn to bed to track sleep. I can't think of any reason why it would be dangerous.

The Ionic will still function away from your phone if that's your concern? I believe it can save upto 7 days worth of data on board before you would need to sync it with your phone or computer.

Phones are bad to be around 24/7 because of the cellular signal. Fitbits use Low Energy Bluetooth, which doesn't have near the energy output of a phone.

I have tested a cell phone and a fitbit with an EMF meter. The difference was staggering, and the fitbit barely registered anything. My phone sleeps in another room now. 🙂

Duplicate topic, answered here.

We don't know long term effects.

However this type of radiation is non ionizing. At the moment the recommendation is to assume there is no known harm from non ionizing radiations from fitness trackers. Note that these devices have to be cleared by fcc.

As always this may change in future.

@Sports-loverThe WiFi for the Ionic can only be the standard ... not -5G etc as per Fitbit information from the manual

"Ionic can connect to open, WEP, WPA personal, and WPA2 personal Wi-Fi networks. Your watch won’t connect to 5GHz, WPA enterprise, or public Wi-Fi networks that require logins, subscriptions, or profiles. If you see fields for a username or domain when connecting to the Wi-Fi network on a computer, the network isn’t supported."

I wouldn't be too anxious of radiation. Even when you put your devices in a faraday cage to block all signals, there still are radio waves around you 24/7. There will always be cellular towers, am/fm radio antennas, satellites, etc that blanket the populated areas of earth with radio signals on a wide variety of frequencies. Maybe you can keep those signals out if you 'decorate' your house like Chuck did in Better Call Saul, but even then... 😉

Just keep sleeping with your tin foil hat and you will be fine. 

In other words the device conforms to all regulations regarding radiation etc. 

If this is something that worriers you best I can recommend is go home lock your doors rip out every wire in the house and stay curled up in a space blanket until you die from something else.
