Less expensive than adding a humidifier, when you boil your pasta, leave the lid off. Use the Heated Dry setting on your dishwasher. If you have a forced air furnace, turn on the furnace fan or turn up the temperature so the fan runs during the time someone is taking a shower or bath to force the humid air from the bathroom out into the rest of the house. These measures keep my home comfortable without a humidifier during most of the winter.

You need humidity!! This depneds on how large your living area is. If it is a house, you can put a humidifier on your furnance. If it is an apartment, you can get a portable humidifier. If it is a small place, sometimes just taking a hot shower with the door open will work for a while.
Your heat source is taking water out of the air which causes this problem. You need to introduce water back into the indoor climate. Over time, you will wake up with a dry throat, have your wooden furniture dry out and other things.

That is pretty much inevitable in the winter time. Weather gets cold air gets dry and it happens. Sorry...
Somethings you can do to help prevent it is make sure you do not drag your feet. Also make sure your pants are not dragging on the floor. Anything that makes friction and sends electric waves through your body.
Also I know this might sound funny but do your best to keep your skin moisturized. Weird I know but it does help.
Use a humidifier in your home
Also make sure you are using some fabric softener or dryer sheets on your clothing.
Good luck!

You should do what others have answered like get a humidifier, etc. but meanwhile, ground yourself before you touch something metal, like put your arm against the door first then touch the metal handle. It works for me.

That happens when the air is the dryest. Try adding a humidifier to your home. It will help.

You need a humidifier. If you have a forced air furnace I recommend one that hooks on it. If not, a portable one will do the trick.

avoid carpets or insulating soles on your shows. It is a static discharge built up from rubbing your feet over the floor. If you touch the door knob or what ever with your whole palm instead of your fingertips you will feel it less.
