I have always pretty skeptical about EMF stuff, but our boys' room is right on the other side of the wall from our breaker and solar backup system, and their beds are right against that wall (nowhere else to put them in the room). Big J and A had not been sleeping AT ALL, and A had suddenly started peeing on himself almost every single night at the age of 6 (after being dry at night since he was 3) and we couldn't figure out why. I'd observed before that the boys seemed to sleep better when the power was out (a regular occurrence here, especially before we got the solar backup) so I did an experiment and started turning the solar completely off at night and also turning off the breaker to the lights in their room (but not the outlets because they need their noise machine and fan).
I'm not lying when I tell you that the peeing and night waking IMMEDIATELY STOPPED. We've tried leaving the solar on for a few nights a couple of times, and every time he starts to pee the bed again. It's crazy.
So apparently EMFs are real and really do affect sleep, and now I'm wondering what other tinfoil hat EMF shield kinds of things I should get.
If you or your kid is struggling with sleep, it might be worth looking into!
