A soft bed, cosy linen and a dark room these are the perfect ingredients for sound sleep, but what if you realize that there is something under your pillow which is silently killing you? Silent killer, wondering who? Falling asleep while scrolling social media and keeping phone under your pillow or near you while you’re sleeping has hazardous effects on your health.
