My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's three years ago. He is the one living with the illness. I want to be very clear about that because I'm aware of how this sounds, writing about my own struggles when he is facing something so much harder. But nobody prepared me for what caring does to the carer. I don't mean the practical side, though that is its own thing. I mean the sleep. The vigilance that doesn't switch off at night. The way your body stays alert even when everything is quiet because you've learned that quiet doesn't always mean fine. I mean the headaches that started arriving about eighteen months in and never really left. The stiffness in my back from the physical side of caring that I'd stopped mentioning because it felt trivial in the context of what he was managing. I'd stopped sleeping properly by the end of the first year. Not insomnia exactly. I was falling asleep and I was getting hours. But the sleep was thin and easily broken and I'd wake at the slightest sound and lie there in the particular alertness of someone who is always, at some level, listening. After two years of it the headaches were daily. A tight pressure across my forehead and behind my eyes that was worst in the afternoons and present enough in the mornings to make everything harder. My GP said it was tension and stress, which was accurate as far as it went and completely unhelpful as advice. I found grounding at midnight on a Thursday, reading something that had nothing to do with it and following a link somewhere unexpected. The idea that the body accumulates electrical charge from modern environments, that this charge keeps the nervous system in a state of low-level activation that prevents the kind of deep sleep where real recovery happens, and that a grounding sheet could give that charge somewhere to go overnight felt too simple and also somehow exactly right. I'd tried enough things that hadn't worked to be sceptical of anything that sounded easy. But I'd also tried enough things that hadn't worked to be willing to try something else. GroundingWell was the brand that kept coming up in what I read as the one built to actually last. The silver is woven through rather than coated on, which means the conductivity holds up properly over months of washing rather than quietly disappearing. 90 days to send it back. I ordered it and went to sleep. The sleep started changing in the first week. The alertness that kept me at the surface of it started to ease. I was still waking when I needed to and I didn't sleep through anything that needed my attention. But between those wakings I was going somewhere deeper than I had been in two years. The headaches took longer. But by the end of the first month they were coming less frequently and sitting lower when they came. By week six I was getting through days without the tight pressure behind my eyes that had become my permanent companion. I'm still his carer. That hasn't changed and I wouldn't want it to. But I'm a better version of it now than I was six months ago, which matters for both of us. I bought him one too. His sleep has always been disrupted by the illness and it has improved more than either of us expected. That part surprised me most of all. https://www.groundingwell.com/products/groundingwell-bedsheet
