Admittedly this looked like witch Doctor stuff when it first entered my purview, but i started looking around and seeing there might be something to it.

As a summary, grounded sleeping is physically grounding your body and pulling all electric charge out. supposedly has moderate to great success in recovery and quality of sleep. Never tried it but am becoming more and more curious particularly because as i get older sleep is more precious and the quality of my sleep gets worse. . Wanted to check here and see if anyone had any experience with this.

Tried it. For background, my wife does not sleep well. Is a very light sleeper, struggles to stay asleep. I sleep great, track my sleep with my watch and routinely get over 3 hrs of deep sleep in a 7 hr/night sleep cycle. We tried a sheet for a week and she could not tell a difference, and I could tell a big difference in terms of crappy quality of sleep. Never had a night with over 30 mins of deep sleep.

So it clearly does something, and I believe it works for some people. My wife was not one of those people, and it screwed me up in the process.

She has recently had some success with magnesium lotion.

I've really been working on my sleep the past 6 months.
Not drinking alcohol at all has been the biggest positive, I get more Deep & REM sleep.

Other stuff that has helped:
*Hot shower before bed
*No screens 1 hour before bed
*No liquids 2 hours before bed
*No food 3 hours before bed
*Consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends
*Dark, cold room with white noise.

I now generally plan my days with sleeping included vs. sleeping when I feel like it.
I shoot for 7-8 hours of sleep every day.

Will echo a lot of that. Two alcoholic drinks will keep my nightly heart rate up 20% and I'll get zero deep sleep. Eating and working out closer to bedtime also impact sleep, but on the same scale as alcohol, I don't see how people do it.

Agreed on the workouts, if I do a workout after 5 I don't sleep nearly as well.

I stopped drinking and get a ton better sleep and have a ton more energy.

There have been a few studies that have come out about being grounded in general, spending at least 30 minutes without shoes a day outside and not being on concrete, walking on grass and dirt.
