If you have atrial fibrillation (Afib), you might wonder: Can I safely use grounding sheets? The short answer is yes—but with one crucial condition: you must use a grounding stake, not your home’s electrical outlet. This simple adjustment could be the key to reaping grounding benefits without the risks of dirty electricity.
Grounding, also called earthing, has shown potential in improving heart rate variability and reducing inflammation. But for those with sensitive heart conditions like Afib, it’s vital to avoid additional electrical noise from standard home outlets. Here’s what you need to know.
Why Grounding Sheets Are Beneficial for Afib
People with Afib often struggle with poor sleep, stress, and inflammation—issues grounding is known to help with. Grounding sheets allow the body to connect with the Earth’s natural electrons, which may support:
-
Deeper, more restful sleep
-
Improved heart rate variability
-
Reduced inflammation
-
Calmer nervous system
But the way you connect your grounding sheet matters. For instance, grounding can help reduce inflammation, which is particularly beneficial for Afib patients.
The Hidden Risk: Dirty Electricity in Your Outlets
Many grounding sheets are designed to plug into the third (ground) prong of a home outlet. However, homes with dirty electricity—spikes of electromagnetic interference (EMI)—can transmit unwanted voltage through the sheet, potentially disrupting sensitive electrical rhythms in the heart. For Afib patients, even minor electrical noise can interfere with stability.
It’s important to understand what dirty electricity is and how it can affect your health. This is why opting for a grounding stake is safer.
The Safer Alternative: Grounding Stakes
Using a grounding stake is the safest option if you have Afib. Here's why:
-
No connection to home wiring = no risk of dirty electricity
-
Direct-to-Earth contact mimics outdoor grounding naturally
-
Peace of mind for anyone with a heart condition
All you need is a grounding stake that connects to your sheet via a wire and reaches moist soil outside your window or wall. For a step-by-step guide on grounding properly, check out this article on how to use grounding sheets.
How to Ground Properly With Afib
-
Skip the outlet: Do not use the grounding sheet plugged into a wall outlet.
-

-
Test the connection: Use a continuity tester to confirm grounding is active.
-
Start slowly: Begin with 30–60 minutes per night and observe how you feel.
-
Consult your doctor: Especially if you use a pacemaker or have a history of arrhythmia.
To check your grounding setup, make sure you understand how to test a grounding mat with a multimeter.
