Ditching Plastics: What Happens When You Sleep on Synthetic Materials?
Hey, everyone. Ever wonder why some nights you can’t seem to get a decent night’s sleep, no matter how perfect your environment seems? That was me and my wife a couple of nights ago, spending time in what looked like a majestic dome. It felt amazing visually, but our bodies were telling us a different story—nightmares, discomfort, and a general sense of unease the entire night.
Why? Plastics. Yup. From the sheets to the dome itself, we were surrounded by synthetic materials, and it didn’t take long for our bodies to react. We couldn't sleep, our dog couldn’t sleep, and something just felt off.
Here’s the thing: we’re now seeing more scientific validation of what many of us already intuitively know. Plastics are everywhere, and they’re toxic to our health. It’s not just about water bottles anymore. The synthetic clothes we wear, the bedding we sleep on, and even the air we breathe can all contribute to our body’s toxic load.
The Real Health Risks of Plastics
Microplastics are literally invading our bodies—our organs, our blood, and yes, even our reproductive systems. It’s estimated that the average human is consuming the equivalent of a credit card in plastic every week. Sounds insane, right? Think about it the next time you hear the crinkle of a plastic water bottle. That crinkle is actually layers of plastic breaking down. And guess what? Those shards are going straight into your drink.
If you’ve ever felt off, or noticed weird smells coming from your clothes or feet, it could be the plastic fibers from synthetic clothing or socks. These aren’t just tiny details. They’re part of the bigger picture of what we’re doing to our health with each unconscious choice we make about the materials we surround ourselves with.
Natural Living, Better Health
For over a decade, I’ve ditched plastics whenever possible. No plastic water bottles, no polyester clothes. Instead, I choose natural fibers like organic cotton, wool, and even glass jars for my food. Yes, it’s more expensive. Yes, it’s less convenient. But my body feels the difference, and I can guarantee you’ll notice it too once you make the switch.
From synthetic sheets to plastic-infused food containers, every small decision impacts your health. So why not make choices that serve you better?

If you’re curious to learn more about how plastics affect your sleep, your health, and even your connection to nature, I dive deep into all of this in my latest video. There’s so much to unpack—what’s going on at a physiological level, how synthetic materials block our ability to tap into natural energy fields, and why it's crucial to make these changes in our lives now. Trust me, once you watch it, you won’t look at your surroundings the same way again.
