    Winter is literally designed to ensure you repair your sleep.  Any sleep deficit you build up over the course of the year gets this one, perfect chance to be eliminated.   The entire world grows darker, your body is gearing for hibernation, and fixing any sleep issues, getting back into a health day/night pattern, is exactly what you need to emerge this spring feeling better than ever.

      Typically when you hear folks recommend grounding, you only hear about walking barefoot on green grass. That doesn’t help in winter, when the winter grass is either non-existent, crunchy and dried out, or covered in mud or snow.  Not to mention even if I could find living grass, I really don’t want to go barefoot on it when the temperatures are cold. In fact, even in the summer, grass is not my favorite surface to get grounded on.  Grass in the summer can be sprayed with chemicals, have fire ants, have dog poop, and sometimes just isn’t
