You could limit your exposure more by not putting your router in the same room as your bed more so than scheduling it.

Of course the whole exercise is somewhat like playing like the floor is lava and hopping from couch to chair as a kid nothing happens when you fall unless you break a lamp on the way down.

There is no evidence of injury by virtue of WiFi.

It's not. I just don't have a huge house.

"There is no evidence of injury by virtue of WiFi."

The research seems to be mixed when searching PubMed. At the very least, there are confirmed biological effects for microwave RF for which we don't understand the mechanisms or their implications (eg increased cellular glucose metabolism). To me, these unknowns warrant some caution, especially if I can make reductions in exposure without any reduction in utility.

There is no reason to believe that 1 watt 10s of meters away has a biological effect. Do you have some links to studies that would suggest otherwise?
