Sleep disturbances by radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) are controversial. We hypothesize that the effects of RF-EMF exposure on homeostasic functions such as sleep could be dependent from thermal condition. In the present study, the effects of a continuous RF-EMF exposure were investigated on 3 main functions implicated in the body energy balance: sleep, locomotor- and feeding- activities in developing rats at ambient temperature of 24°C and 31°C.
