Grounding sheets are bed sheets that contain a conductive material, like carbon or silver, that’s woven into the fabric. The material is connected to a wire that can be plugged into a wall outlet or directly into the ground. This creates an electrical current between your body and the Earth’s current. According to the Journal of Inflammation Research, grounding or earthing appears to improve sleep, normalize the day–night cortisol rhythm, reduce pain, reduce stress, shift the autonomic nervous system from sympathetic toward parasympathetic activation, increase heart rate variability, speed wound healing, and reduce blood viscosity. All of this can have positive effects for chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
