Sleep is one of the most vital activities of your body, which is required to fuel you up for the next day. Sleep re-energizes the body and helps in restoring the energy lost during the day. Thus, it is essential to fall into a deep slumber and have sufficient sleep hours at night. Along with this, it is equally essential to sleep in the right direction. You must avoid sleeping with your head pointing North, at any cost. It is real, and there are several reasons which back this up.

We all know that the Earth and the human body both have magnetic fields of their own. Magnetic fields on the Earth is more potent in the North and the South Pole. When you sleep with your head pointing North, your body’s magnetic field interferes with Earth’s magnetic field. That fluctuates your blood pressure and can even cause heart problems. Your heart needs to work harder to overcome this. That’s why you might have noticed most of the heart attacks occurs during the night time. If you are elderly or already a heart patient, you might be at a higher risk of getting a haemorrhage or paralytic stroke. You can check yourself that lie down horizontally, your pulse rate drops.

The reason is that our blood contains a lot of iron. When we sleep facing North, the direction’s magnetic pull attracts iron, accumulated in the brain. That’s why many people complain about getting a headache when they wake up. Sleeping with your head pointing North can also disrupt your blood circulation and lead to disturbed sleep. So it is better to avoid sleeping with your head facing North. Dangers of lack of sleep could be the one reason for the following diseases:
