Some people feel that sleeping with your head to the North (in the northern hemisphere) or South (in the Southern Hemisphere), helps align your body with magnetic poles and reduce the chance of you having insomnia. Although, other "experts" will tell you never to sleep with your head towards the north, because the magnetic forces will pull the good energy out of your body. However I could not find any documented scientific evidence of anything related to the direction of your sleeping patters. Additionally, several people believe that it is bad luck to sleep with your head facing East.

There is no scientific evidence to say which, if any, is better. There are however many charlatans that would be willing to convince you otherwise.

Perhaps this question will spark some lively discussion in the discussion area about personal preferences of the direction your head should face while you sleep. It would be interesting to hear from people who live in both the northern and southern hemispheres to see if they have different preferences. It also would be helpful for everyone interested in this subject to read about any scientific studies related to sleeping positions and directions.
