What do you mean, your feet don't face west and your head doesn't face east?

You can't sleep with your feet facing west and your head facing east. There is a folk saying that this is related to the earth's magnetic field, so sleeping easily causes insomnia, but this statement has not been verified for the time being.

In fact, this statement can't fully explain the problem of insomnia, because the magnetic poles of the earth are not divided into south and north, but have a certain inclination angle. At every point on the earth, the so-called direction in line with the earth's magnetic field lines is not exactly on time. The direction of the earth's magnetic field lines will change according to day and night and all the year round.

However, the orientation of the house and the bed will not change with the change of the earth's magnetic field lines, and no one will always adjust the direction of the ship, so this statement cannot be fully recognized.
