It is generally recommended to avoid sleeping next to a charging phone or any other electronic material on charge for safety reasons.
Lithium-ion batteries, which are commonly used in smartphones, can generate heat and may potentially catch fire or explode if they become overheated or damaged during charging. Your body can be expose through some kind of radiation.
While the risk of a phone catching fire or exploding during charging is relatively low, it is still important to take precautions to minimize the risk of such incidents. Some tips to follow when charging your phone include:
- Use the original charger and cable that came with your phone.
- Avoid covering your phone while it’s charging, as this can trap heat and increase the risk of overheating.
- Keep your phone and charger away from flammable materials, such as curtains, bed sheets, or blankets.
- Don’t use your phone while it’s charging, as this can generate more heat and increase the risk of overheating.
- Avoid charging your phone on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch, as this can block airflow and increase the risk of overheating.
- Keep your electronic material away from yourself while on charge.
By following these tips and avoiding sleeping next to a charging phone, you can help minimize the risk of a potential fire or explosion.
