Found this that might be interesting for all you iPhone users (myself excluded). Its a dream app that plays music when you are sleeping to alter your dreams. Might be able to play sounds entrained to get you lucid!

I'm going to go ahead and give a general warning- cellphones have been associated with brain cancer, and at least for children and adolescents, it's not a good idea to have a cellphone (especially the ones with stronger bandwidth and those that generate their own WiFi)- who knows how much radiation those put out- close to your head for prolonged time, especially at night, when you're prone to go to sleep and leave it next to your head all night.
The guy that was instrumental in developing the technology (don't remember his name, but he was on the talk circuits some years ago and had various YouTube postings) had said that you shouldn't even have them in the same room with you when you're sleeping, and even the bluetooth thingies are unsafe because of they're wireless and data was dangerous (not my words, his). I think there was a link to this here in AD but since I can't remember his name I can't search it.

I would tend to think that modern mobile phones actually emit less powerful signals than the old cordless phones did. Same is true for modern "Eco DECT" cordless phones.

Having said that I also try not to sleep with my smartphone close to myself or at least not my head.

I used to have a site that disclosed the EMF and WiFi levels by phone model, but I couldn't find it.

Personally I never have the cellphone in teh bedroom. But I think that a cellphone only emits dangerous signals when your transmitting or recieving a phonecall or surfing the webb on it. dont really know the hard fatcs though.

Well, in "flight mode" it is supposed not to emit signals, true. Just switch off Wifi, too, to be sure. Then it's basically like any other electronic device, just like the radio clock on the nightstand or whatever. It shouldn't need network connection to run an app.
