my Faraday cage

[Guest guest]

Hi, I have been sleeping in the camper all summer and am now back in the house,

and the house is very difficult for me, last winter I barely slept all winter.

My bedroom is covered on 3 sides with ordinary household aluminun foil, I had it

grounded to the elect system, but now have 2 small wires run outside to their

own ground rods.

Most of the elect plug ins and lights are on one wire, instead of turning off a

breaker I have the wire on a 3 prong plug and unplug it at night.

The ceiling has aluminum foil built in to the insulation, and I have moved most

of the wires in the basement so they dont pass under the bedroom anymore.

I have had the very low frequency buzz I hear stop because of the changes I

made, but I hear a very high frequency buzz that keeps me awake all night.

Reading on this forum of people putting aluminum under the bed, I put aluminum

foil under my side of the bed and feel a certain amount better.

I ususlly wake up about 5am and cant get back to sleep, now with aliminum

between the matresses I am getting some sleep in the morning also, I dont have

it grounded but it still hepls.

I dont know what it is that I am picking up but the aluminum has helped a fair

amount.

I had been thinking about getting a big cardboard box big enough to sleep in and

covering all 6 sides with foil and sleeping in it as a test but I dont think I

will need that now.

I have read a book on insomnia, that was very interesting to learn about, I

think it would be required reading for anyone who owns a body.

One of the first things an insomniac develops is a very big dislike for their

own bedroom, that sounds familiar, and some insomniacs will even pitch a tent in

the yard and sleep in that, that also sounded familiar, except for me I felt

there was a reason.

We all have 2 body clocks and neither of them run on a 24 hr scedule, both of

them have to be set every day by getting up, getting an hour in the sun and

getting to bed at a regular time. Sleeping in on the weekend is enough to reset

the body clock so that we do not function on monday morning :-)
