Let’s talk about something that often gets overlooked in our wellness journey—EMF (electromagnetic field) exposure. While some people invest in pricey EMF-blocking gadgets from places like Amazon, I’ve found that simple lifestyle tweaks at home can be just as powerful—without the extra cost.
Reducing EMF exposure can support deeper sleep, lower stress levels, and even help reduce inflammation in the body. That’s a win for both you and your baby!
Here are a few of my favorite natural, low-cost ways to reduce EMFs and bring more calm into your space:
🔌 Unplug When Not in Use
Unplug routers, electronics, and small appliances when you’re not using them—especially overnight.
Bonus: This also helps reduce phantom energy usage, which can slightly lower your electric bill too!
🌙 Turn Wi-Fi Off at Night
Give your body a break while you sleep by turning off your Wi-Fi at bedtime.
Use a timer outlet or just flip the switch manually. If you want to go a step further, hardwiring your internet (see below) is even better.
📱 Use Airplane Mode on Devices
Whenever you're not actively using your phone or tablet, put it on airplane mode.
This is especially important if you sleep near your phone or use it as your alarm—try keeping it 3–6 feet away from your bed.
💻 Hardwire Your Internet
Ethernet cables can connect your devices directly to the internet while allowing you to turn off Wi-Fi altogether.
It takes a little setup but provides a more stable connection and less EMF exposure.
🛌 Keep Electronics Out of the Bedroom
Remove TVs, smart speakers, and laptops from your sleep space.
Personal tip: My husband and I are working on keeping the TV out of our bedroom during the week—but we don’t mind bringing it in on the weekends for a cozy movie night. Balance is key!
🎧 Limit Bluetooth Use
Use speakerphone or wired headphones instead of AirPods or Bluetooth earbuds.
Also, get in the habit of turning off Bluetooth when you’re not actively using it.
🚫 Create Tech-Free Zones
Try making the dining table, kids’ play areas, or bedrooms “no tech zones.” It’s not just about EMFs—it also supports deeper connection.
In our home, we don’t have strict rules, but we do spend a lot more time outside, which helps us naturally unplug and reap similar benefits.
🌿 Grounding/Earthing
While this doesn’t reduce EMFs directly, it does help your body discharge built-up electrical energy.
Walk barefoot in the grass, sit on the ground, or use a grounding mat (mindfully). I even use a grounding bed cover—and it’s made a huge difference!
