Sleep w/grounding sheets

[wzuber]

Anybody try these out yet? Are they legit or gimmick? I keep seeing tons of ads on Instagram for them. Just thought I'd ask here before giving a try & $100.00 ea. I could use less inflammation and better sleep.

I guess I'm out of the loop here. But, how exactly do you make sheets grounded?

I guess I'm out of the loop here. But, how exactly do you make sheets grounded?

From the little I've read, it's all about connecting your body to the Earth's Natural Negative Field and EM frequency.
The sheets contain a small amount of silver oxide thread. What I find of particular concern, is then plugging that sheet's grounding adaptor into your wall outlet in order to provide continuity using your home's (And power grid's) earth ground. Could get interesting during a lightning storm

 

[MeCasa16]

Have you tried the gummies advertised on here? . They sound ridiculous, but I’m only going off Taboma’s description.

 

[TimeBandit]

They only work if you're wearing copper socks and have a magnetic wristband on.

Thanks; just for opening this thread, I'm going to get swamped with these same adds on IG.

Sleep on the ground? LOL

I was thinking alligator clip the blanket and plug in the other end into ground post in the wall socket.

Do your own research and try it.

Only listen to people that have implemented the practice not people on the sidelines with opinions.

Read Clint Ober's book Earthing or watch the documentary.

I know some people who claim real health benefits with "grounding". If it works for them I'm not one to argue.

No different than a heated blanket I suppose.

 

[Good Stuff]

Just keep in mind If the sheets aren’t grounded to the earth then they can’t ground you. Most of these gimmicks brag about some metal inlay but then don’t have anything that would actually constitute a ground.

Edit: just saw mention of using an outlet. What the hell is going to happen if you get a short while you are sleeping? Lightning strike? Power surge? Hell no. ‍↕

 

[Mandelon]

I could see a wire to a grounding rod, but I'm not too keen on plugging something into the wall socket. ZZZZZapp! LOL

I don't care if it adds 5 inches to my man-tool, as an electrician, I'm not sleeping on any sheet that's earth grounded utilizing my home's and Utility Grid's common system grounds.
If lightning hits the utility pole up the street, or their system suffers a ground fault, I want to be sleeping isolated from it, not connected directly to it.

For this same reason, I don't wear ESD work shoes or recommend wearing them if you're working on energized electrical circuits.

But that's just me.

 

[poncho]

I can't be the only one thinking get the Wife to fall asleep on her back with a metal butt plug in and wire in a rheostat.

For the record my Wife has never owned a butt plug that I know of.

You and me both I do not want to become "ONE" with the grid, no thanks.

You just might just be, but I think we need a RDP poll thread

What's the thinking on an electric blanket then? We don't use them. I just stick my ice cold feet on my wife. LOL

Wife insists on sleeping in an ice cold house with a heated blanket, we have compromised over the years.
My mechanical brain has always made me weary.

 

[Taboma]

At least with the blanket your body isn't normally in direct contact with it, or shouldn't be anyway. I certainly wouldn't want to lie directly on electric sheets.

I thought the concerns with electric blankets was more from either A. Fire, if the elements went into some overheat scenario, or B. Potential negative effects of the prolonged exposure to induced EMF field and perhaps even a remote possibility of C. lightning induced grid surge and spontaneous combustion

If I so much as attempt to slip my freezing foot over the centerline, she seems to have the ability to sense it's presence and recoil into a ball I'm unable to reach.

 

[coolchange]

Jumper cables. Bad ground. Check yourself with an amp probe?

 

[fat rat]

And have a tin foil hat!

the marketing companies must be getting desperate.

Take the gummies to float away in bed, buy metal sheets to stay grounded in bed.... The world is your oyster my friends

Spend the 100.00 on a bottle of Rum.

You'll sleep better for Sure!

I truly believe sleeping outdoors, walking barefoot etc has a mental benefit for humans. And mental benefits definitely create positive physical results.

Trying to replicate that through a mat that is sorta attached to the earth….. I have my doubts

You’re laying on a rubber mat with a few wires running through it. And maybe if you tied it to a legit grounding system you’d be “grounded”. But then you add sheets and blankets to the mat which decreases continuity (idk how connected you are to the mat anyways). So I’m not sure how you’re legitimately grounded.

I have to drive a 8-10ft rod into the earth twice to create a bond with the earth. If you welded a copper plate to them and you stood on it, I’d say you’re “tied” to the earth.

Just reminds me of the Dave Ramsey quote:

The items on instagram are sheets with silver wire woven into the cloth as Taboma mentioned.

So how do they bond with the person?

Under ideal circumstances you’d be naked and “wrapped” in the sheet.

But if they’re woven in then the metal doesn’t make a bond (imo) with the person.

Not trying to be negative, just trying to walk myself and others through how grounding works.

Grounded sheets , not electric sheets.

I'm wondering how your body will "Receive" the earth's beneficial harmonics, while having the ability to filter and reject the myriad of other harmonics being carried on the home's grounding system. Most every electronic device, regardless of what it is, have a power supply which produce undesirable harmonics, and utilize the system ground to discard them. In other words, building grounds are a harmonically dirty environment.

In the late 70's and early 80's when electronic cash registers were being introduced, they started causing major problems with older three phase "Wye" electrical systems where it was previously common to phase share neutrals.
The neutrals were being overloaded by the dirty harmonics produced by the solid state "Switching" power supplies. The symptoms we first noticed manifested itself with extremely warm conduits.
We had to go in and start retrofitting by adding a dedicated neutral and ground for each phase, to reduce conduit heating.
Once this was realized, manufacturers started providing improved methods of harmonic filtration. Although substantially better that replaced the need for dedicated grounds, grounding systems are still harmonically dirty.

I'd mentioned that in a previous post, where I shared my opinion on what I felt was potentially undesirable about being "Grounded" while sleeping.
The post you just quoted was a response regarding electric blankets, not earth grounded sheets.

That looks like and outlet giving a BJ after it said "dont bust in my mouth"

 

[Motor Boater]

They say you can achieve the same thing by walking barefoot in your grass. Or swimming. My buddy is super into it. Kinda makes sense I guess but I need to try it consistently before I make my opinion.

Doubt anyone cares but here’s a measurement from the existing ground (via rigid conduit) to a ground rod 18” in the ground.

Son of a bitch. . .

 

[OCMerrill]

@hallett21 I have determined, through a referred holistic healer, that there is a definite benefit to grounding however I think it depends on so many factors its difficult for me to put any kind of "Level of Help" percentage it provides.

So I am still dealing with Vertigo and my current plan is grounding. During an episode I lay flat on my stomach, arms out finger tips down, legs extended, tips of my toes contacting the ground. So after maybe 20 min of this the spinning bullshit seems to calm down enough to sit back up. The nausea usually associated with this is nearly non existent. So if that's all it helps its still a win. These events have for sure lessoned so I'll keep this up at least for now.

OK, so you're measuring resistance and comparing the differences between two different screw coatings on a ground fitting, what I'm not clear on, is why and it's relevance to this thread ?

First off, I apologize, I hadn't realized you weren't done with your testing that well, I still don't understand the relevance of, other than proving that digital meters can provide some really wonky readings --- bring out an old Simpson VTVM bitch, then we'll test for reals

lol my point was that there’s really no measurable difference.

 

[Taboma]

lol my point was that there’s really no measurable difference.

I did some required contract and independent ground rod and ground grid testing.
All you need is one of these setups and some time devoted to reading about how grounding systems interact with the earth and instrument training.

When you're testing a grid, this kit provides for 500' probe radius or 1,000' diameter. I've tested grids with much more expansive cones, but the reality is, the only relative worth of these types of tests is for periodic comparisons to determine that the system is still offering the required level of protection.

The most extensive I ever installed and tested was on the experimental Fusion Reactor. The cone of influence of that ground grid theoretically extended for miles. We tested and recorded out 1,500' in each direction, but first you must calibrate for test cable resistance. The other challenge is, the soil types could be entirely different where you're testing than where the field is located. That's why I stated, it's only value was for the sake of comparisons.

Right? Its likely voodoo mixed with a little truth to it all somewhere in there.

This will be a big hit with the copper sock, shirt, sweat band crap
Or the braclets that claim to do something.
Someone will buy it....
Then sail off the end of the planet

If we're worried about getting shocked. How is the electricity, grounding, going to Grounding Sheets any different then something like a Sleep Number bed? Those beds are plugged into an outlet?

There you go bringing common sense into it.

 

[lbhsbz]

just touch a 9V battery to your tongue a couple times a month and you'll be fine.

 

[WYRD]

He'll no I ain't using no electric grounding sheets. All part of the woke ass new green deal to get us hooked on the juice...I'll stick to my trusted ICE coal burner sheets. Those babies have been deleted and tuned up right, even with the high mileage they still hold in a good ole' Dutch Oven...just ask the wife
