It seems daft at first, but when you consider the sensitivity of insects and birds to very light electromagnetic waves why should it be?
@Mr. Tea the physicist what do you think? no common sense please, open your mind and get those fucking shoes off
Walking around in bare feet on grass or sand feels great, no question. Assuming you're in an area where you know you're not in danger of stepping on dogshit, broken glass, discarded needles etc.
My objection to grounding
products isn't based on physics so much as on economics and psychology. It's a classic wheeze: convince people they're doing a basic, everyday thing (such as sleeping) "wrong", convince them that this is causing them stress, poor sleep or whatever, then convince them that this can be cured by purchasing such-and-such:
Grounded mouse/keyboard mat. Ground your bare feet while working at a desk, watching television, meditating, doing yoga, etc.

You probably won't even have to fabricate any glowing customer testimonials, since, the placebo effect being what it is, a certain percentage of people who use the products will earnestly tell you they feel loads better for it.
Claiming that poor sleep is caused by an imbalance of electrons is a genius move, because who the hell can say what that feels like? It's not like it has directly observable symptoms like vitamin/mineral deficiencies do (scurvy, rickets etc.), or a neck/back pain that's obviously and directly caused by bad posture.
