The Biologic Effects of Grounding the Human Body During Sleep as Measured

by Cortisol Levels and Subjective Reporting of Sleep, Pain, and Stress

MAURICE GHALY, M.D.,1 and DALE TEPLITZ, M.A.2

Cortisol study ---

-- Results: Measurable improvements in diurnal cortisol profiles were

observed, with cortisol levels significantly reduced during night-time sleep.

Subjects’ 24-hour circadian cortisol profiles showed a trend toward

normalization. Subjectively reported symptoms, including sleep dysfunction,

pain,

and stress, were reduced or eliminated in nearly all subjects.

-- Conclusions: Results indicate that grounding the human body to earth (“

earthingâ€) during sleep reduces night-time levels of cortisol and

resynchronizes cortisol hormone secretion more in alignment with the natural

24-hour

circadian rhythm profile. Changes were most apparent in females.

Furthermore, subjective reporting indicates that grounding the human body to

earth

during sleep improves sleep and reduces pain and stress.
