SLEEPING POSITION NORTH OR SOUTH?

Getting a good night sleep is not only about a good mattress or uncluttered space and mind. Getting a good nights rest also depends on which way your head is facing when you sleep.

Supporters of Feng Shui will tell you it has to do with the way things are placed in the room.

In the Indian Culture, it also has to do with the poles being magnetic. If you sleep with your head towards North, in the Northern Hemisphere, you may not sleep well due to the fact that our blood contains iron. And if you take iron supplements, which are really not necessary, your blood will contain even more iron.

When you sleep with your head pointing to the North, the blood has a tendency to be drawn up towards your head, because the iron will be magnetized by the North Pole. Having more blood in your head will cause you to not sleep well, will cause anxiety and could cause hemorrhaging in very young or older people.
