How to fix a bad sleep schedule with grounding and earthing

Does your sleep schedule feel upside down: wired at night and exhausted in the morning? 

Modern life isn’t designed for rest. Our screens glow, stress runs high, and our bodies forget what “wind down” even feels like. The good news is, your sleep rhythm can be reset with earthing and grounding. 

The value of good sleep habits

Sleep isn’t just about feeling rested. Getting enough quality sleep supports your well-being in so many ways:

• Healthy brain function

• Physical health

• Emotional regulation

• Long-term well-being

When our sleep suffers, everything suffers. Poor sleep affects how you think, behave, and connect with others. Over time, it’s linked to an increased risk of conditions like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and dementia. 

It’s also linked to anxiety, depression, chronic pain, weight gain, hormonal changes (including menopause), insomnia, sleep apnoea, restless legs, teeth grinding, and disrupted circadian rhythms from shift work or jet lag. Even snoring and sleepwalking can interrupt the body’s ability to fully rest. That’s where grounding comes in.

What is grounding and earthing? 

Grounding (also known as earthing) is about connecting your body to the Earth’s natural electrical charge. Research suggests grounding may:

• Help calm the nervous system

• Reduce inflammation

• Support healthier cortisol rhythms 

When used consistently, grounding can help signal safety to the body. It encourages a shift out of “fight or flight” and into rest-and-repair mode, where good sleep begins.

How to sleep better at night

To reset your sleep routine, it’s about gently teaching your body when it’s safe to rest again. Consistency, environment, and nervous system regulation all matter, and small changes can have a big impact.

Create a consistent bedtime routine

Your body loves a pattern. Going to bed at (roughly) the same time each day helps regulate your circadian rhythm, the internal clock that tells you when to feel alert and when to feel sleepy. Don’t overcomplicate it, just repeat the same steps each night to wind down: a warm shower, stretching, reading, or a few quiet minutes of breathing can make all the difference. 

Try grounding and earthing while you sleep

Putting a grounding mat under your bed sheet is a great way to try daily earthing, without making any major changes to your lifestyle. Simply lay it under the top sheet, plug it into the wall, and you’ll get uninterrupted grounding while you sleep. 

Try yoga and wind-down stretches

Evening yoga and stretches are a great way to transition out of the chaos of the day. This routine calms the nervous system, training your body to slow down at the same time every night. If you want to make the most of this time, you can even use a grounded yoga mat, which reduces the electrical charge in your body. 

Use a Sleep Mask

Eye masks can help block out light and regulate your sleep cycle. They’re great for shift workers, travellers, or anyone looking for a better night’s sleep. To shield your eyes from EMF radiation caused by Wi-Fi, smart devices, and power lines, we recommend a EMF blocking sleep mask.

A bad sleep schedule is a sign that your body has been asked to operate in ways that aren’t natural for it. But your body is always looking for balance.

By creating a consistent routine and reconnecting with the Earth, you give your nervous system the signals it needs to slow down and reset. These simple changes shift your body out of stress mode and back into its natural rhythm.
