Tech entrepreneur and Blueprint founder Bryan Johnson is one high-profile advocate of grounding sheets, claiming they improve his sleep quality.
Grounding has gained attention from health experts like Andrew Huberman for potential health benefits like better sleep, recovery, energy, and lower inflammation.
In this post, we will examine Bryan Johnson’s recommendation of grounding sheets and the evidence behind them.
There is limited scientific literature on grounding, but some early studies and anecdotal data have found several potential upsides to the practice.
Cardiovascular Health
One study explored the cardiovascular benefits of earthing, or grounding, on improving blood viscosity and red blood cell clumping, both associated with cardiovascular disease.
Sleep Quality

The study used a conductive mattress pad for grounding patients.
