Grounded Sleep

Sleep with a direct electrical connection to the earth. A conductive bed mat wires to a copper grounding rod driven into the dirt outside — bypassing the building's electrical ground entirely. The theory is contested; the practice is cheap and the proponents are unusually consistent in their results. Try it for 30 days, track HRV, decide for yourself.

Overview

This protocol turns a broad sleep goal into a repeatable sequence. The point is not to add complexity; it is to make the behavior easy to run the same way every time, then let the consistency compound.

Expected benefit

Reported benefits vary widely — the most consistent self-reports are faster sleep onset and a subjective 'settled' feeling. If HRV trends up 10%+ over 4 weeks, keep it. If nothing moves, unplug and skip.

How to think about it

Run it as written for the first block, then adjust one variable at a time. The useful signal comes from repeating the same inputs long enough to see what actually changes.
