How I FINALLY got rid of my restless legs - see my full grounding sheet review

So I recently splashed out and bought some grounding sheets.

What are grounding sheets I hear you ask?!

Grounding sheets, also called earthing sheets, are bedsheets designed to connect you to the Earth's natural electrical energy while you sleep, potentially promoting health benefits by balancing your body's electrical charge.

Before I started Zing Wellbeing I didn’t even know what “grounding” was and probably would have thought it was silly if someone told me to do it.

But I have leant sooooo much from our coaches and Rae Willingham and Rebecca Collins have spoken so much about grounding and now I am a full believer!

And the other day something popped up about these grounding sheets that you sleep on and I thought “hell yes” and they just arrived.

P.S I bought a 3 sheets as they were on a discount and when they arrived I got some free grounding socks too - I haven't tried them yet!

Now I should also add one of the main reasons I was keen to use them other than it all sounding so good about inflammation reduction

Why I wanted to try the grounding sheets.

Since I started perimenopause early (42) I have had NON STOP leg cramps and restless legs EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT.

It has been the bain of my life for soooo long (years!).

I have gone on HRT

I significantly increased magnesium

I have increased iron

I have a nightly epsom salts bath

I have never ending tubes of voltaren gel next to the bed for when the cramps and twitches get bad and then I put the gel on and it stops them for around 15-20 minutes which is usually enough time to get to sleep!

I also have a massage gun which I use on my legs in the middle of the night when they are going bananas.

The bottom line is that I wake up 2-3 times a night with it and has been driving me mad for years.

So one of the reviews I saw with the grounding sheets was someone saying it had helped their restless legs and that was enough for me to be SOLD and I bought them straight away.

Result after one night

So I put the sheet on. I put it over my normal sheet and slept directly on the sheet wearing no much clothes so I was lying directly on the sheet with no clothes interfering.

I turned the lights off and went to bed at 10pm.

And wait for it..........

The next time I woke up was at 5.45am when my alarm went off.

I literally was and still am IN SHOCK.

I just can't believe it.

That is the first night in YEARS that I have not woken up continuously with restless legs!

I had no epsom salt bath, I didn't have to use the voltaren gel and I didn't need to use my massage gun.

This has literally been the best purchase I have ever made and I am blown away at what the grounding sheet did.

I feel so much more energised today and I don't want to get too carried away but this is LIFE CHANGING!!

I also didn't want to write this review after just one night so I have done another night before writing this to make sure it wasn't a fluke and it was the SAME - I slept through and I am just AMAZED and so happy - like SO HAPPY.

**UPDATE - it has now been 10 days and RESTLESS legs are still GONE!!**

And I bought the sheet from a place called GROUNDING WELL and they are great! You can check them out here

P.S you can use code GWZINGWELLBEING for a 10% discount too - and the reason you can get this is because as I messaged the peeps at Grounding Well after I was blown away and said I was so impressed I wanted to be an ambassador for the brand and was going to share this with the Zing Wellbeing audience and they gave me this code and said yes to me being an ambassador.

But if you don't want to buy through these guys there are heaps of others out there too - I just bought mine through them as they looked good and I was impressed with the reviews.

Tracey Grant's Review

And just also sharing Tracey Grant's review who bought the grounding sheet after reading mine!

Tracey says, "Update on grounding well sheet. Went to bed about 10 up at 6 I feel I didn’t toss and turn no where near as much as what I normally do and I also slept a bit more solid. I definitely didn’t feel as stiff and sore getting out of bed. I have OA and bone spurs in my shoulders and knee so far so good"

How does a grounding sheet work?

And this is how the grounding sheet is meant to work and why it is meant to work

A grounding sheet (also known as an earthing sheet) is a special type of bed sheet made with conductive materials, typically silver threads woven through cotton. These threads connect to the earth either via:

A grounding plug (which connects to the earth port of a wall outlet), or
A grounding rod placed directly into the ground outside your home

The goal is to reconnect your body to the earth’s natural electric charge—something humans used to experience daily when walking barefoot on the ground.

The earth carries a negative electrical charge, and when you make direct contact with it, your body can absorb these electrons, which may help neutralise free radicals and reduce inflammation.

⚡️ So How Can It Help with Restless Legs?

Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a condition that causes uncomfortable sensations in the legs, often described as tingling, crawling, or pulling. These sensations typically occur at night and create a strong urge to move the legs, which can severely disrupt sleep.

Here’s how grounding may help:

✅ 1. Reduces Inflammation and Improves Circulation

One theory behind RLS is that it may involve inflammation or poor blood flow. Grounding has been shown in small studies to reduce markers of inflammation and support better circulation—which may ease the uncomfortable sensations in the legs.

✅ 2. Balances the Nervous System

Grounding helps regulate the autonomic nervous system by shifting the body from "fight-or-flight" mode into a more relaxed "rest-and-digest" state. This calming effect may help relieve nighttime restlessness, tension, and nerve-related discomfort.

✅ 3. Improves Sleep Quality

Grounding has been linked to deeper, more restorative sleep. Many people with restless legs report that their sleep improves significantly after using grounding sheets, likely due to a combination of reduced stress hormones (like cortisol) and enhanced melatonin production.

✅ 4. May Reduce Muscle Tension

By calming the electrical activity in the body, grounding may relax overactive muscles and nerves—another key factor in restless legs.

Other health Benefits of Grounding Sheets

1. Improved Sleep

Helps regulate circadian rhythm
Increases melatonin production
Reduces nighttime cortisol (stress hormone)
Promotes deeper, more restful sleep

2. Reduced Inflammation

Grounding neutralises free radicals with electrons from the earth
May reduce chronic low-grade inflammation linked to many diseases

3. Pain Relief

Reported to help with joint pain, muscle soreness, arthritis, and fibromyalgia
May reduce nerve-related pain and tension

4. Lower Stress and Anxiety

Calms the nervous system by shifting from "fight-or-flight" to "rest-and-digest"
Supports mental clarity and emotional balance

5. Better Circulation

Can improve blood flow and oxygen delivery
May help with swelling, leg cramps, and restless legs

6. Boosted Immune Function

By lowering inflammation and stress, grounding supports a healthier immune response

7. Faster Recovery

Athletes use grounding to reduce muscle soreness and speed up healing after workouts or injuries

8. Hormonal Balance

Lower cortisol and better sleep may support sex hormone balance, particularly helpful during menopause or for people with adrenal fatigue

9. Heart Health

Studies show grounding can improve heart rate variability and reduce blood viscosity (thickness), which benefits cardiovascular health

📊 What Does the Research Say?

While larger-scale studies are still needed, preliminary research and anecdotal evidence suggest benefits of grounding for:

Reducing pain and inflammation
Improving sleep and reducing cortisol levels
Enhancing circulation and heart rate variability

Many people using grounding sheets report reduced leg discomfort, fewer nighttime awakenings, and better energy during the day.

🛏 How to Use a Grounding Sheet

Place it directly under your body while you sleep, ideally under your fitted sheet or as a top sheet.
Make sure bare skin touches it — even a small amount of contact (like your legs or feet) can work.
Connect it to a grounding source (either a grounded outlet or grounding rod outside).

💡 Pro Tip: If you’re using a grounding plug, test your outlet first with a socket tester to ensure it's properly grounded.

⚡️ In Summary:

Grounding sheets reconnect your body to the earth’s natural energy, offering anti-inflammatory, calming, and restorative effects. They’re a simple, drug-free way to support better sleep, less pain, improved mood, and overall wellness.
