Thanks Stephanie.  The fact that you can't sleep near a radio tower is informative and helpful.

Through all the mobile technology I understood that I am electro sensitive - but I was already electro sensitive before mobile technology came into being. So I think I had really a problem with radio signals. I wonder it is really the worst for me. I can't sleep at all when I am near a radio tower. I found out about it when I was Italy in and were searching for mobile and Wi-Fi free zones. I found them, but then there was still something going on. So I found out there is more in the air :-) , much more! This really a subjective impression. I am still try to find out myself what really caused me the trouble.
