How soon will my symptoms improve?
How quickly symptoms improve varies widely. Earthing doesn't cure but helps restore natural balance, reducing stress and inflammation. Some notice better sleep and less stress after just a few grounded nights. Long-term issues like insomnia with underlying health problems may take more time. Medical imaging shows reduced inflammation in minutes, and studies note immediate brain wave and muscle tension changes with grounding. Lasting improvements in stress, sleep, pain, and body rhythms come from regular, extended grounding sessions, especially during nighttime healing. Overall, like healthy food or water, Earth's energy benefits various issues unpredictably, with more use often revealing more vitality and benefits over time.
I've recently started sleeping grounded and feel a bit unusual. What might be causing that?
Some people may initially feel slight discomfort, like flu-like symptoms or mild pain and achiness, when they start grounding. This is usually temporary and results from the body adjusting its electrical balance. As your body begins to release accumulated toxins more efficiently, you may experience this discomfort. After a brief adjustment period, most people start feeling better and more energized. Any discomfort typically lasts only a few days at most and will diminish over time. If you find it uncomfortable, take a break from grounding for a few days and then resume. In most cases, people do not experience discomfort when they start grounding.
Are there people who sleep grounded and feel no effects, or find that grounding doesn't help them?
Grounding benefits everyone differently, regardless of their health status. Some experience quick and significant improvements like reduced pain and better sleep, while others notice subtle changes over time. Those who are unwell often feel more dramatic effects. On the other hand, individuals already in good health and sleeping well may not notice any difference, but grounding still supports overall health and well-being. Whether you feel it or not, Earthing supports natural health and vitality.
I bought a bed sheet and felt tingling in my feet during the first few nights. Is this something to worry about?
Lots of people feel tingling at first—it means your circulation is getting better!
Is it safe to use the Ground Me Bed Sheet with a pacemaker?
There's no evidence that grounding interferes with how a pacemaker works. Grounding is like walking barefoot on the Earth. Many people with pacemakers sleep grounded and find it beneficial alongside their medical device. As far as we know, no one with a pacemaker has been told to avoid walking barefoot outside. It's a good idea to talk to your doctor first and keep an eye out for any unusual symptoms.
Do grounding products use electricity?
No, they don't use electricity. Grounding products pick up Earth's energy from a grounded outlet or rod in the Earth. They transfer this energy through a cord to conductive pads, mats, sheets, or bands made for grounding people. When you touch these products, you absorb Earth's energy. They act like "indoor barefooting," bringing Earth's natural energy indoors.
Is there a risk of electric shock from using the Ground Me Bed Sheet?
No, grounding yourself indoors is completely safe and not related to electric shock. When you plug in the cord of a grounding bed sheet or mat into an electrical outlet, it's designed to only carry the Earth's energy from the outlet's ground port to your device. It doesn't carry the electricity that powers your appliances and lights in the house.
Should I worry about lightning striking me if I'm grounded in my home during a thunderstorm?
Lightning is a powerful natural event that's hard to predict and protect against completely. It's rare for homes to be struck by lightning. When it does happen, lightning usually travels through the easiest path to the ground, like metal plumbing, electrical wires, or telephone and cable lines that are grounded.
The National Safety Council says the chances of dying from a lightning strike in a year are 1 in 6 million. To compare, the chance of being hit and killed by a car while walking is 1 in fifty thousand—about 120 times more likely. These numbers show that getting struck by lightning is unlikely. Still, if you live where lightning often happens, follow safety advice from your local weather service. During thunderstorms, it's wise to disconnect and avoid using grounding devices.
Can I wear clothes or cover the Ground Me Bed Sheet with another sheet or doona?
If your body isn't directly touching the sheet, it needs moisture to allow Earth's current to flow through the fabric into you. Many people naturally have enough moisture at night for this conductivity to happen. However, it's ideal to have some bare skin touching the device, if you can.
How do grounding sheets differ from electric blankets?
Grounding sheets don't warm up like electric blankets; they just let the Earth's natural energy through. They don't use the electricity that powers your home's lights and appliances. Using an electric blanket with grounding sheets is safe, thanks to resistors in the cords that prevent harm if there's an electrical problem with the blanket.
Can you wash the grounding sheet?
You can wash your grounding sheet like any other bedding. Use a gentle wash cycle and mild detergent, and it's best to dry it on low heat. Avoid using chlorine bleach or fabric softener. If needed, use a hydrogen peroxide-based non-bleach to remove stains or whiten the sheet
Do you have to turn on the power switch at the wall?
You don't need to turn on the switch. The bedsheet or mat is only linked to the grounding plug in your socket, which doesn't have any active current running through it. It's essentially just a wire connected to the grounding rod in your home.
Can I use an adapter?
Please do not use a universal adapter plug with your grounding product.
