I was listing to National Public Radio earlier today, and they had a discussion about cows naturally facing magnetic north & south while sleeping. I was wondering if anyone here sleeps this way, and notices a difference in their energy levels? |

I've actually heard this from my grand mother before, so I think there might be some basis to it. I've always found that I sleep better if I sleep east-west, but I'm looking for a change lately, so maybe i'll convince the wife to turn the bed tonight. |

| My best guess would be that your aligning yourself with the earth's magnetic poles. In doing so, perhaps your energy would sync, and become magnified by the earth's. I know this idea is part of Feng Shui, which is popular in the east. |

Mremedia, thats some weird logic you got going on haha My grandma says it, so there might be something to it? My grandma says praying to St Anthony can find lost objects...so there MUST be something to it. I think its highly unlikely that sleeping in an particular direction is beneficial, its based on te same flawed logic that Muslims use when they say they have to pray to Mecca...well...direction doesn't matter. Same with sleep. However if someone can find empirical evidence that the magnetic field of the earth CAN affect ones brain (but why shouldn't it afect the brain at any direction you sleep?) then I will agree, there is something to it. |

This was an allergenist that admitted the most chronically ill children year to year in this hospital in the Bay area of California....She was one of the first doctors to order a check of the 'pollen count' before it was actually reported on most news stations today...She was a 'smart cookie' ...She was 'right on' most of the time...When I would call the University of California number....I would write the results on the chart for each sucessive admission to the hospital for these extremely allergic kids....Sure enough...there was a pattern of 'inflammation'...She would test these kids and treat them...This same Dr.....indicated this sleeping with the bed north to south would make a difference...in their flare.......to allergens...and subsequent fatique..

wow nursense that was the absolute freakiest post ever, are you foreign? Becuase I just found that so disjointed and random. However to respond to your point, you make an interesting one, however there are so many extraneous variables: The children have varying degrees of allergy, so their reactions are obviously going to be different. The statement is just based on uncontrollable observations that aren't even meant to point towards the effect of direction of sleep. How can the Dr. be sure that its the direction of sleep that is causing the difference in healing... So yeah its a nice idea, but I still don't see any actual facts to suggest that sleeping in N-S position... |

Well, the way I see it, you can't knock it till you've tried it, so might as well give it a shot. The ancient Egyptians (or ancient advanced culture prior) built the pyramids and many other buildings with exact alignment to north. Many believe that this was done to "tune in" to the energy of nature. Maybe there's something more to it? The fact that cows do it without even thinking about it is really interesting. I'm going to find out where exactly north is from my house so I can try this. I'll let you know if I notice any different results. Good post!
