Summary:

This is a review on the effects of electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields on melatonin and cortisol secretion, the two major markers of the circadian system as well as on sleep. The results of relevant studies to date are largely contradictory and inconsistent in their findings. The authors conclude that the hypothesis on disruption of melatonin secretion as being caused by electromagnetic fields is not supported by the epidemiological and experimental data.
