Should I Unplug My Grounding Sheet When Not in Use?

If you’ve recently started using a grounding sheet (also known as an earthing sheet), you might be wondering: Should I unplug my grounding sheet when not in use? The short answer is no—there’s no need to unplug your grounding sheet when it’s not in use. It’s completely safe to leave it plugged in at all times.

 

Why It's Safe to Leave Your Grounding Sheet Plugged In

Grounding sheets work by connecting to the grounding (or "earth") port of your wall outlet or by using a grounding rod placed directly in the earth outside. This setup allows the sheet to transfer the Earth's natural electrons to your body while you sleep or rest, helping to reduce inflammation, support better sleep, and balance your body’s electrical state.

Here’s why it’s safe to leave your grounding sheet plugged in:

✅ No active electrical current flows through the grounding wire—only electrons from the Earth.
✅ Grounding sheets do not use electricity in the traditional sense, so there’s no risk of shock or fire.
✅ Most quality grounding products include built-in resistors for safety, preventing any electrical current from entering your sleeping area.

When You Might Consider Unplugging

While it’s safe to keep your earthing sheet plugged in 24/7, you might choose to unplug it if:

  • You're doing major electrical work in your home.

  • Your home experiences frequent power surges or lightning storms and you don’t have surge protection.

  • You’re moving or washing the sheet and want to be extra cautious.

Keep It Simple: Plug It In and Leave It

One of the best things about grounding sheets is how low-maintenance they are. Once your sheet is plugged in and tested with a grounding continuity tester, you’re good to go. There’s no need to unplug it daily—just make it part of your healthy sleep routine and let it do its job.

 

Final Thoughts

So, should you unplug your grounding sheet when not in use? No—unless you have a very specific reason, it’s perfectly safe to leave your grounding sheet plugged in at all times. It’s designed to work quietly in the background, supporting your wellness day and night.
