Can AV Edge Help with Sleep Problems? What the Science and Our Users Say

We live in a hyper-connected and technologically intertwined world, where sleep seems to have become a luxury rather than a guarantee. For many of the clients I see in my RestoreX pain clinic, poor sleep is a recurring theme, often entangled with anxiety, inflammation, pain, and constant digital exposure. After two decades in the health and wellness space, I've tried countless protocols to support my own sleep. Interestingly, the first noticeable shift I experienced when wearing AV Edge’s EF Technology was improved sleep. I've got to admit, it caught me off guard at first, but it has supported highly restorative and restful nights ever since!

This article explores how electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can affect sleep, what the science says, and how frequency-based wellness tools like AV Edge may offer a non-invasive way to support better rest.

Why Sleep Matters More Than Ever

Sleep isn't just rest, it's neurological maintenance, immune regulation, and hormonal reset. During deep sleep, the body repairs tissue, balances stress hormones, and clears waste from the brain via the glymphatic system.

Disrupt this process consistently, and the consequences are profound: increased risk of cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, anxiety, depression, and weakened immunity. Even moderate sleep deprivation impairs decision-making, reaction time, and emotional regulation.

Unfortunately, modern life actively works against us: screen exposure late at night, EMF-heavy bedrooms, stress, irregular schedules, and overstimulated nervous systems.

Could EMFs Be Undermining Your Sleep?

Electromagnetic fields are emitted by virtually every digital device. While many dismiss these invisible signals as harmless, a growing body of peer-reviewed research suggests otherwise, especially when it comes to circadian disruption and nervous system overstimulation.

One of the most widely documented biological effects associated with EMF exposure is melatonin suppression. Even low-level EMF exposure has been demonstrated to reduce melatonin production in both human and animal studies.

“Likewise, the exposure of animals to various pulsed static and extremely low frequency magnetic fields also reduces melatonin levels.” [1]

Dr. Martin Pall’s 2016 research also highlighted how EMFs disrupt cellular calcium signalling via voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), a mechanism tied to sleep regulation, mood, and stress response. The resulting oxidative stress and neurotransmitter imbalances can keep the brain in a hyper-alert state, preventing restful sleep.

Add to that the overstimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, and you have a recipe for shallow sleep, frequent wake-ups, and poor recovery.

Melatonin Suppression: The Hidden Cost of Night-Time Light and EMFs

Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the pineal gland in response to darkness. It plays a central role in regulating the body’s circadian rhythm, helping signal when it’s time to wind down and prepare for deep, restorative sleep.

However, exposure to artificial light and electromagnetic fields (EMF), particularly at night, can disrupt this finely tuned system. Research from Oxford Academic and ScienceDirect shows that even moderate light in the 470–525 nm wavelength range (blue light) can significantly suppress melatonin production. This includes light emitted from phones, tablets, LED lighting, and televisions.

Additionally, EMF exposure, even at low frequencies emitted by common electronic devices and household appliances, has also been extensively documented to suppress melatonin. As noted by researcher R. J. Reiter,

“Artificial alterations of the direction of the earth’s magnetic field markedly decreased the [pineal] gland’s capability to synthesize melatonin.” [1]

This effect isn’t just theoretical; both blue light and EMF exposure before bed have been shown to delay melatonin onset, reduce its overall levels, and shorten sleep duration. One NIH-backed study confirms that blue light creates a dose-dependent suppression response, meaning the more intense and prolonged the exposure, the stronger the inhibition of melatonin.

The consequences? Disrupted sleep, poor recovery, increased irritability, and long-term risks to hormonal and immune health. Some studies even associate prolonged melatonin suppression with increased risk of metabolic disorders and hormone-related cancers.

To reduce these effects:

Minimise screen time 60–90 minutes before bed.

Use warm-toned lights or red spectrum lighting in the evening.

Wear blue light blocking glasses after sunset.

Keep bedrooms dark or use blackout curtains, and avoid bedside EMF-heavy devices.

When combined with tools like the AV Edge wristbands and protect filters (which may help restore circadian balance by mitigating EMF interference), these simple changes can help reclaim natural sleep cycles and restore deep rest.

Real-World Case Study: Sandra’s Sleep Turnaround

Sandra, a 64-year-old RestoreX client and busy grandma of three, came to my pain and recovery clinic with fatigue, difficulty staying asleep, and high levels of unexplainable morning anxiety. Her environment was saturated with EMFs: WiFi router in the bedroom, Bluetooth sleep tracker (ironically) on her wrist, Bluetooth speaker, and her phone under the pillow.

We implemented a simple three-step protocol:

AV Edge Legend wristband worn 24/7 and AV Edge Protect Filters on all devices

Night-time EMF hygiene (router off, phone in airplane mode)

FIR sauna blanket sessions 3x/week

Within two weeks, Sandra reported improved sleep duration and quality.

“I’m finally getting a full night’s sleep. I used to be wide awake at 3am with my brain full of nonsense, but now I sleep through the night.”

How AV Edge May Support Sleep Naturally

“Since having the band, my nephew has slept every night. Now he believes it’s magic and he can’t sleep without it. He has been sleeping through the night since he got it. After the first week of wearing it. He has NOT done that in YEARS. Bearing in mind the doctors had given him melatonin and all sorts.” – Kelly J

AV Edge wristbands are not medical devices, nor do we claim they ‘cure’ sleep disorders. But based on user feedback, evidence from the literature, and my own personal experience, they may support sleep in several key ways:

Reducing EMF burden

By supporting the body’s natural energy field and modulating disruptive frequencies, users often report feeling calmer and more grounded.

Promoting parasympathetic dominance

Many users describe a subtle shift from “wired and tired” to “rested and restored” after wearing the band consistently.

Enhancing circadian regulation

Improved ATP efficiency and reduced oxidative stress may indirectly support more balanced hormone rhythms. As mentioned earlier, the first positive effect I noticed from wearing EF Technology was improved sleep. Not just falling asleep faster, but waking up feeling clearer, more grounded, and less restless overnight.

Far Infrared (FIR) Therapy and Sleep Support

Far Infrared (FIR) therapy uses invisible wavelengths of light to gently warm tissue, increase circulation, and activate parasympathetic processes. Many of my clients use FIR sauna blankets in the evening, and regularly report deeper sleep, fewer night-time wake-ups, and reduced muscular tension.

Here’s why it works:

Boosts nitric oxide production, aiding vasodilation and relaxation

Lowers cortisol, making it easier to transition into deep sleep

Promotes lymphatic drainage, supporting immune reset overnight

I often recommend FIR therapy as part of an evening wind-down routine, especially for clients who are mentally exhausted but physically tense.

ATP: Could Boosting Your Body’s Energy Molecule Be the Secret to Deep Sleep?

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) plays a crucial role as the body's primary energy molecule, fuelling cellular processes across all biological systems, including those that regulate sleep. When ATP levels are compromised, particularly in areas of the brain responsible for circadian rhythms and sleep regulation, the body's internal clock can become disrupted. This can manifest as difficulties in falling asleep, frequent night-time awakenings, or an inability to achieve deep, restorative sleep. Additionally, insufficient ATP availability in neurons can impair neurotransmitter balance, notably affecting levels of serotonin and melatonin, key hormones that govern sleep onset and quality.

Conversely, optimising ATP production supports healthy cellular function and energy metabolism within the brain, promoting the synchronisation of circadian rhythms and enhancing the effectiveness of sleep-regulating neurotransmitters. With ample ATP, cells can better manage oxidative stress and inflammation, two significant factors known to disrupt sleep quality. Improved mitochondrial efficiency, driven by robust ATP synthesis, ensures neurons and other sleep-related cells operate effectively throughout the sleep cycle, facilitating deeper, uninterrupted rest. Thus, maintaining optimal ATP levels can be pivotal in achieving consistently high-quality, restorative sleep, ultimately contributing to overall health and vitality.

Our Blood helps to transport Adenosine Triphosphate throughout the body and regulate ATP levels. The enzymes in our blood also help to ensure that ATP levels are maintained in a healthy range. It is suggested that Electro-Pollution affects the electronegativity of our blood and may cause an aggregation (or sticking together) of blood cells. This disrupts many processes, not least the production, transportation, and regulation of ATP. AV Edge technology potentially increases ATP levels by reducing this aggregation and promoting more optimal ATP processing.
