Along with this, it is equally important to sleep in the right direction. It is usually said that you must avoid sleeping with your head pointing North, at any cost. It is actually true and there are several reasons which back this up.
The role of magnetic field
We all know that earth and human body, both have magnetic fields of their own. Magnetic fields on the Earth are concentrated in the North and the South Pole. When you sleep with your head pointing north, your body’s magnetic field interferes with that of earth. This can fluctuate your blood pressure and can even cause heart problems. You heart needs to work harder to overcome this. If you are elderly or already a heart patient, then you might be at a higher risk of getting a hemorrhage or paralytic stroke. In fact, you can check yourself that lie down horizontally, your pulse rate drops.
Another reason is that our blood contains a lot of iron. When we sleep facing North, the magnetic pull of the direction attracts iron, which gets accumulated in the brain. This is the reason why many people complain of getting a headache when they wake up. Sleeping with your head pointing North can also disrupt your blood circulation and lead to disturbed sleep. In order to prevent such a scenario, it is better to avoid sleeping with your head facing North.
Which direction is ideal for sleeping?
East and South directions are the most ideal directions for sleeping. Sleeping with your head facing South reverses the negative effects of North direction and thus, protects you from several health problems. It keeps your blood pressure under check and also maintains a steady blood circulation.
While sleeping, you must always prefer lying down on your left side. Sleeping on the left side helps reduce heartburn and promotes a better sleep.

After talking about how beneficial it is for you to sleep with your head in the south direction as it is considered the best direction for a good night's sleep, let’s have a look at the pros and cons of the other directions. Acharya Indu Prakash is here to throw light on the north direction. According to Vastu Shastra it is not good to sleep with head in the north direction. The reason is the magnetic force in the earth and the continuous magnetic current that flows from south to north.
So when we sleep with head towards the south direction, this energy enters from our head and exits from the feet. In this way a person feels fresh and elated upon waking up in the morning. On the opposite side, when sleeping with head towards north direction, the magnetic energy enters the feet and reaches the head, due to which the mental tension increases, and the mind becomes heavy upon waking up in the morning. So, you should avoid sleeping with your head placed in the north.
