Is it beneficial to sleep north to south in the earth's magnetic fields?

Yes it should be.Because our body has its own certain electro-magnetic fields.There should be certain effect on physiology by sleeping in direction with earth magnetic field. === === No. There is no evidence that a human can detect or react to the earth's magnetic field, so it makes no difference which direction you lie in when you sleep.

Why at the earths geometric north pole does the north end of a compass get pulled strongly downward?
Because the magnetic north points vertically downwards.
What will be the position of the freely suspended magnet in a region over the earths magnetic pole?
from south to north
Needle on compass always points to what pole?
The magnetic poles of a compass needle are named after the directions in which they point. 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are LOCATIONS (used to distinguish them from 'True North' and 'Magnetic North'), and do NOT describe their magnetic polarities. As 'unlike poles attract', the north pole of the compass needle points towards Magnetic North, whose polarity must, therefore, be south. By extension, the polarity of Magnetic South is north.
At the earths magnetic north pole it is pointless trying to use a compass to find your way?
yes it is pointless
What causes the poles to be slightly off the true North and South poles?
The Earths magnetic field is always shifting
Switch in direction of earths magnetic north and south poles?
Magnetic Reversal
What is the name of the area surrounding earth that is influenced by earths magnetic fields?
The Earth's magnetic field is called the Magnetosphere. Loops of magnetic energy coupling the north and south pole that trap energetic subatomic particles are called the Van Allen belt.
Why do scientists think that earths' magnetic field has not always pointed north?
Every 100,000 years or so, the Earths magnetic field shifts direction. North becomes south, south becomes north.
What point does North America end?
At earths magnetic feild .
Will a compass always work?
No. I assume you mean a magnetic compass. A magnetic compass reacts to magnetic fields; the magnetic south pole of Earth is not exactly at the geographic north pole, so at some points of the Earth's surface, the magnetic compass will actually point south instead of north. Also, a magnetic compass will be influenced by other magnetic fields, e.g., current-carrying wires.No. I assume you mean a magnetic compass.

The magnetic fields of any magnet are greatest to?
north pole
The magnetic fields of any magnet are greatest?
north pole
Where does the earths axis of rotation intersect with the earths surface?
The geographical North and South Pole - not the magnetic poles.
Can the earths magnetic field move?
Yes it can reverse from North to South
What is the switch in directions of earths magnetic north and south pole?
idontknow
Is the magnetic pole near the Earths true North Pole a magnetic south pole or a magnetic north pole?
Earths geographic North Pole is also currently a magnetic north pole. This is however not always the case because over geological time scales the Earth's magnetic poles flip as a result of changes of flow in Earth's molten core which produces Earth's magnetic field.
How is the earths magnetic field used for navigation?
Compasses use the magnetic field to navigate always pointing North.
