I always lay in bed with my laptop everyday for hours. I've done this for years. and my laptop is always positioned on my lower stomach. Is this harmful?What types of radiation are emitted by laptops?
Using a laptop or LCD does not exclude you from the negative health affects of computer radiation. All computer monitors emit low levels of radiation. Laptops and LCD monitors emit less radiation than the old-fashioned CRT monitors. However, all monitors emit enough radiation to affect your health and appearance.
A healthy solution is to use a computer accessory called a radiation filter. This product will eliminate 94-99% of the harmful radiation emitted from your computer screen. Radiation filters are available for all types of computer monitors, and they work well to protect you from radiation.
From tech standpoint, I would be more concerned with using your computer in bed and it not being able to "breathe" because of sheets blocking air vents, etc. There are many stands available for purchase.What types of radiation are emitted by laptops?
Just EMI radiation, and these days, not much. I had a desktop from 1991, and have a laptop from 1993. Both produce a symphony of noise when an AM radio is placed near them. But, modern computers produce far fewer emissions. The power bricks tend to be rather noisy, still, but the PCs are pretty quiet.
As for the effects of EMI, most scientists say it's harmful, but some heterodox doctors blame them for just about every ailment. On another note, they claim all the wiring in your home has the same effect, too.
UPDATE:
Compudude's source is malarky. We take in about 300 milirem of radiation from background radiation, mostly from the sun. A properly built (read: not a 1960's color tube-type) color CRT shouldn't add more than like ten milirem, and an LCD would have to emit negligible dosages that don't even merit measurement.What types of radiation are emitted by laptops?
Computer Radiation
Studies show that long-term exposure to radiation increases the risk of all forms of cancer, tumors, blood disorders, miscarriage, headaches, insomnia, anxiety, aging of the skin, skin burn, etc.
Radiation exposure over time can cause skin burn, dry wrinkled skin and photo aging. This skin damage is identical to sun damage and causes the same health problems. Many electronic products that we use on a daily basis expose us to harmful radiation.
A television, microwave oven, cellular phone and computer are examples of products that emit radiation. To preserve your health use electronic products carefully, in ways that shield your body from radiation.
Computer radiation is most harmful to skin health because we sit directly in front of the computer for long periods of time with our face absorbing the radiation. Lessening this type of harmful radiation is important.
Computer radiation can make you feel sick and burn your skin. Most people are not aware of this, and continue to suffer with ill health they have no explanation for. They do not realize sometimes ill health is related to computer use.

It is also helpful to move the processor tower as far away from your body as possible. This will reduce radiation that could reach and affect your body.
The negative health effects of computer radiation are a well-known topic. There is much research on the web that explains its health hazards. But unfortunately, it is also a much avoided subject. Most people do not realize the harm that radiation can cause to the human body, even at low levels. It is also not a widely advertised problem because it would negatively affect industry and the economy as a whole.
By law, there are basic health and safety requirements that manufacturers must meet for electronic products. Many manufacturers today are improving products to emit less radiation, and great technological improvements have been made in the last five years alone. Be health smart and research any electronic product before you buy to make sure it emits low radiation.
Most industry standard computer monitors do comply with low radiation guidelines. However, low radiation does not mean zero radiation. Computer radiation levels are still allowed to be high enough to cause health problems.
It is very important to use products that emit low radiation, and shield radiation emissions. Following this simple advice can help to preserve your health and well being.

I hope this helps. good luck to you.
I shouldn't think this is that harm full. It would be more likely you were to be harmed by something natural before you die of laptop radiation. As far as I am aware they also use laptops in nuclear power stations and things so it wouldn't be that power full.
