The improvement of sleep through grounding: customer stories and scientific research
Grounding, also known as earthing or grounding, has gained a lot of attention in recent years due to its health benefits, especially regarding sleep. In this blog post, we discuss how grounding can contribute to better sleep, supported by customer stories and scientific research.
What is grounding?
Grounding is the process of coming into contact with the earth through your skin. This can simply be done by walking barefoot on grass or sand, but it can also be done indoors with grounding products. By contacting the earth, we restore the natural electrical balance in our bodies, which brings various health benefits.
The impact of grounding on sleep quality
Many people who practice grounding experience a significant improvement in their sleep quality. This is based not only on personal experiences but also on scientific research. Studies show that grounding helps normalize cortisol levels, which is crucial for a good night's sleep.
Customer stories
Here are some stories from customers who have experienced the benefits of grounding:
- Li: "After our first night, it was immediately noticeable that we had a better, deeper, and longer REM sleep. Although we still woke up due to illness, we both fell asleep much faster and I felt fitter and more rested. My smartwatch also showed that I had a longer REM sleep right from the first night. Now, after a few nights, this continues and we are very happy and would recommend it to everyone!" (Earthle sheet).
- Sandra: "Now after sleeping one night on the sheet, my high blood sugar (type 2 diabetes) has improved!" (Earthle sheet).
- Silvia: "This is on our son's bed, he is 14. His hormones have a life of their own. And now he has been sleeping on it for a week, and he is so much calmer! He can concentrate better and his skin is less dry! Ideal for children. You also get the necessary minerals and vitamins from the earth! He dropped 8 points overnight! I immediately felt when I lay on it that all sorts of things were happening in my body, as if 1000 small repairs were being carried out at once. I am very curious about what will happen tonight. I’m glad I bought it!" (Earthle sheet).
- Dylan: "I've been sleeping on this pillowcase for a week now and I've always had difficulty getting out of bed during the dark days. Now I wake up much more easily and it also has an effect on muscle pain, which is certainly less." (Earthle pillowcase).
- Britney: "I was extremely skeptical, but I am totally surprised by the result. At the moment I am not only using this mat for my exercises but I sleep on it.. I have much less pain.. I can hardly believe it. Thank you very much!" (Earthle yoga mat).
Scientific Research
Research supports the benefits of grounding for sleep. A study conducted by Ghaly and Teplitz in 2004 showed that grounding during sleep normalizes cortisol levels. This normalization can contribute to better sleep quality and less stress.
Moreover, a study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine showed that participants who grounded themselves reported a significant improvement in their sleep quality. The research showed that the benefits are comparable to those of traditional sleeping aids, but without the side effects.
