#2Does anyone know, how does the strength of these fields compare to the strength of the field in the brain from a wifi router at a reasonable distance? Why doesn’t all the comms gear mess with our thought processes?

I can't say with 100% certainty that it would have no effect, but the following may be of use:
Frequency of Brain Waves
State Frequency range State of mind
Delta 0.5Hz–4Hz Deep sleep
Theta 4Hz–8Hz Drowsiness (also first stage of sleep)
Alpha 8Hz–14Hz Relaxed but alert
Beta 14Hz–30Hz Highly alert and focused

#4what does that mean? is that a form of explanation for why we are more creative or able to solve problems in our sleep (or after sleep)?

This has very little relevance to the topic at hand as these refer to electroencephalogram measurements taken through a skin (scalp) patch and conductive gel.

#7I wonder if this validates the Orchestrated Objective Reduction theory of consciousness pioneered by Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff. Seems like it would.

What does this have to do with supposed qubits inside neurons?

as this study shows, as well as others, electric fields do "mess up" with individual synaptic transmission. nature has evolved action potentials as a reliable way to propagate signals in the presence of the myriad sources of electromagnetic radiation on earth. They can be disrupted by appropriately high stimulation such as with TMS . Most likely, the radiation sources that we use every day, phones computers etc do have some effect in neurotransmission but those random failures are probably too few (and too random) to matter significantly or systematically.
here is a recent review: http://sci-hub.tw/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

it means that neurons can 'transmit' a spike to their immediately neighboring neurons even without chemical synaptic transmission (which is the norm). i cant think of a relation to sleep but there could be one.
