My guess is that you've connected to earth carrying a magnetic field from the area-wide electric system.  I have a body voltage meter and one of those grounding (Earthing) pads.  I grounded to earth where the magnetic field was .05 mg, which supposedly is low for civilization, and it greatly increased body voltage when feet were on the pad.  Then I connected to the neutral plug on the electric outlet and could get the body voltage meter (BMV) to zeros using the pad.  That is until everything changed when I became more EMF affected.  Rechecked BMV and sure enough when I put my feet on the grounding pad the BMV skyrocketed.  I think it's another potentially harmful gimmick to waste your hard earned $$ on.

I an finding that grounded shielding during the night is really bad and I can barely sleep.  I've had it grounded for a week or so and had bad sleep, thinking it's something else.
I ungrounded it last night in the middle of the night and got half a night of good sleep.

How could grounding be worse.. do I need a diode for ground? Anybody else had problems like this?

I have no E fields I needed to dissipate in that room anyway at night, everything is off at the panel, so grounding was not really required at night, just during the day.
