Vastu Tips: Why Sleeping With Head Towards North is Not Recommended

  • Vastu Shastra advises against sleeping with your head towards the north due to the Earth's magnetic field.
  • The human body is believed to have its own magnetic polarity, with the head as the north pole, which clashes with Earth's magnetic north.
  • This energetic repulsion is thought to interfere with the body’s natural restorative processes, leading to disrupted sleep and restlessness.
  • Vastu recommends sleeping with the head towards the south or east for better circulation, deeper sleep, and harmony.
  • While some small studies suggest north-south alignment could improve sleep, definitive scientific proof is still lacking.

Why It Matters: Vastu Shastra suggests avoiding sleeping with your head towards the north due to magnetic field clashes.
