On researching the topic it appears that ancint Chinese sources including Confucius recommended head facing north with feet to the south while sleeping. An ancient Indian source Vastu recommends the opposite.

Some believe that Vastu may have been giving advice that is opposite of truth to the masses, reserving true information for the king. The idea was to keep the masses supressed.

According to some sleeping with head towards south and feet towards north leads a person to become lethargic and corrupt, conditions which lead to general poverty and disorder in society. This is because south has been regarded as the direction of the demon and north that of the Gods in mythology.

Some answer this based on polarity of earths magnetic field but thaat does not lead to an answer. Both positions have their own advantages

Due to the contradiction in various sources it is not possible to give a final answer yet. It may be possible that the best direction is different for each individual or that other things such as placement of bed with respect to bedroom walls, doors and windows is more important. It is best to experiment and find on one's own. For me the best direction has been with head to south and feet towards north. Sleeping with head to East led to nervousness and fear.
