It's important to test your sockets... The reason I don't use mine anywhere but bed is I'm sure it does me good there.. When I first got it I was almost addicted to sitting on it. I would notice after about 20 mins of contact I would give a little cough that always felt good (it moved gunk around my lung which has been bad for nine years) then I'd feel good. That's stopped now but I still fare better sleeping on the earthing throw.... However... I took it into my office one day to work while enjoying its benefits, and about twenty minutes later I felt so sick I laid down and slept for a few hours... It was weird and I'm not sure it's related to the blanket but I suspect some bad wiring in my office... As it is sometimes my laptop zaps me when plugged in there.
