EMF Story:
This last March, work really started to pick up. During the week, I had Sunday off and a slower Monday, but every other day I was on the road, working hard, and enduring a higher amount of stress. So it was not surprising when my sleep started to suffer. This usually happens when I work more, so it did not bother me too much. April rolled around and was even busier then March, so same story, but sleep became even worse. At the end of April I got into a pattern where I would sleep 7-8 hours one night, and then get maybe 4 hours the night after. The next day I was so tired, I would collapse that night and get 7-8 hours, rinse and repeat. During this time I also noticed that I was pushing my metabolism. I have a medley of supplements available, and I was taking extra MB, riboflavin, B1, estroban, coffee, etc almost impulsively. Basically I was always grabbing something, pushing my energy levels.
May started, and was not as busy as April. Things were slowing down and I was slated for a vacation on an Alaskan cruise at the end of the month. Oddly though, my sleep got even worse. Around 10pm I would become immediately awake. I would have energy rushes through my body, buzzing in my ears, restless leg, twitching muscles. I would usually fall asleep around 12am, only to wake at 3am with many of the same feelings. I would fall back asleep at 5am, and wake a couple hours later to start the day.
After the first week of May, I had a night where I barely slept at all. I laid awake until 4am when I finally fell asleep for a couple hours. I started to have sleepless nights followed by sleeping the next night for 10 hours, then another sleepless night.
Let me tell you, there is nothing like lying awake a whole night to force you to start looking at some of your life decisions. I got a lot of time to think, and I felt pretty bad about most things. I stopped taking most of my supplements. I was getting pretty desperate and feeling worse about myself every day. I also became a bit afraid of my bed. It sounds weird, but I was starting to have anxiety almost constantly at the thought of going to sleep. Was this going to be another sleepless night?
I didn’t quit all my supplements. I found I could not do without Niacinamide. It was the one light in the tunnel for helping me calm down. Calcium taken in the morning was also a help, not really in falling asleep but staying asleep through that 3am hour.
I am sure you probably know where this is going from the title of the story. At the end of May, I went on a cruise to Alaska. I slept great. It was such a fun time and the buffet had some Peaty things I could eat. So it was awesome. The night I came back from a full day of travel, I did not sleep a wink. As I lay there, staring at my ceiling, unable to stay still, constantly moving my legs, a beautiful thought popped into my head.
A neighbor of mine back in March had said to me “you got a new meter!” as I was walking by...I did not think anything of it at the time. But that sleepless night, I remembered that she had said that, so I got up and got a flashlight. I went out back behind my apartment, and I found a bay of 11 brand new smart meters installed about 30 feet from where I was sleeping.
Connections started rapidly coming together in my head. Why didn’t I notice better sleep when I turned my Wifi off anymore? I had started doing that last year and it made a difference in my sleep quality, but recently it did not seem to matter. Why do I feel like compulsively making ‘to do lists,’ impulsively taking supplements, and unable to sit still for any amount of time? Why can’t I sit in front of my computer for longer than an hour before feeling sick? Why does vitamin K make me sleep wonderfully (lowering calcium in the blood), but I wake up dizzy and groggy?
I called my mom around 2:45am and said “I think there is something wrong with my apartment, can I sleep at your place?” I went to her house, relaxed and fell asleep quickly. The next day I started doing research, and this is what I have found:
•EMFs from Wifi, phones, ipads, and smart meters affect calcium channels specifically. It is complicated, but in simplistic terms, they cause stress in a cell which then releases calcium from its mitochondria into your blood stream to stimulate your metabolism in response to stress. Basically, when I went to sleep at night, the EMFs would stimulate my metabolism by releasing calcium into my blood stream. You can read more about it here:

Also, any search for EMF and haidut’s name will bring up studies that detail EMF and their actions. Basically, Niacinamide directly helped my metabolism and kept me resilient to the metabolism lowering effects of EMF. Calcium stimulated my metabolism, and caused my cells to release less calcium into my blood stream. Both of these supplements, while helpful, were not able to completely get rid of the effects of EMF. I consider Niacinamide a crucial supplement to be taking if you want to live in the modern world.
•I bought a Cornet electrosmog meter. This meter has dual function and can detect both radio frequencies given off by wifi and smart meters (100mhz -8ghz) as well as low frequency magnetic fields from power lines and appliances (50hz-10khz). I bought from this website for around $140, and they have great service if you are interested (no affiliation):

I watched this youtube video on how to use it:
•I measured everything. I found that my apartment has basically turned into a cell phone tower. Luckily I found a spot to sleep that is relatively lower than the hottest parts of my place, but I need to move. I have attached pictures showing the reading from where I used to sleep, and the other room which I sleep in now. I also noticed patterns in the strength of the EMFs in my apartment. 10am and 3am, for whatever reason, were much much higher in readings then normal. Go figure

•The recommended levels of safe EMFs from Wifi are .01 mw/m2 for sleeping and .1 mw/m2 for day time/working. Through testing, I have noticed that I start to feel the symptoms I described around .12 (can’t relax, fidgety, compulsive, etc). I think everyone is different in their tolerance. Obviously before the smart meters were installed, I was okay enough to sleep with Wifi and my ipad etc. My mom’s house, which I measured and found very low in radio frequencies, has a smart meter installed, and I do not have a problem there. I think 11 of them, so close to where I sleep, is too many for my body to deal with, but I have read about people reacting to much lower levels.
In fact I read a lot of stories of people going through hell, getting tests done, visiting multiple doctors and neurologist to try and find out what was causing these same symptoms I was experiencing. I felt sad reading their accounts of mysterious insanity. I even feel a little crazy myself when I tell someone about it.
In conclusion, this really ****88 with me, I have to move, and it is a giant hassle. But God am I happy I figured this out. For a while there, I did not think I was going to make it. I thought I would not sleep, they would check me into a mental institute, drug me up, and that would be it for me. I am happy to report that although my place is still pretty messed up, I am now sleeping through most of the night by avoiding staying long in certain rooms and places. I have to kind of sleep in a corner, but whatever at least I am sleeping.
