Medically, it is said that the iron in our body coagulates in the brain, causing issues with blood circulation, increased stress, physical and psychiatric issues, and insomnia.ĭr. It draws energy out from the body, disturbing the body-mind-spirit integration. North-facing sleep is not recommended at all. Lord Krishna advises Yudhisthira – Sleep with head towards the South and legs towards the North. Śīrāṁsi teṣāṁ kurusattamānām ( Mahābhārata) Yatha svakīyānyajināni sarve saṁstīrya vīrāḥ siṣupurdharaṇyām agastaśastām (dakṣiṇām) abhito diśaṁ tu Entry of prāna in the body is from the feet and the entry of the soul in a foetus is through the head. Streaming of organic energy (jaivik ūrjā) is from the North to the South. Loss of prāna happens if you sleep with legs to the South. ![]() The Suśrut saṁhitā recommends the eastward position of the head. Pracyāṁ diśī sthitā devastatpūjarthaṁ ca tacchiraḥ If you have health issues, sleeping in the south direction is very beneficial (these recommendations don’t change in the Southern Hemisphere).” What our scriptures say about sleeping direction I asked Michael Mastro, a leading North American Vastu expert, about sleep directions, and this was his advice: “We never sleep with our head to the North, because positive magnetic energy comes from the North Pole, and our body is a magnet with a positive polarity in our head, so this is like bringing two positive ends of magnets together ( hence!) they repel each other and disturb blood flow, circulation, and digestion, which does not give restful sleep. The objective of Vastu is to create a congenial setting to live and work within by using the Panchamahabhutas, (the five great elements of ether, air, fire, water and earth), directions, and energy fields for enhanced health, wealth, prosperity, and happiness. Vastu, Ayurveda’s sister science, deals with directions it is the ancient science of architecture and environmental harmony and well-being. ![]() Positive poles repel, so I’m assuming if we lay with our head to the North, the repelling forces will cause exhaustion. A human’s head is the positive side of a magnet, and feet, negative. The earth’s magnetic positive pole is to the North, and the negative, to the South. The earth is a huge (albeit weak) magnet but its impact on human beings is statistically significant. The direction of sleep is meant to avoid geomagnetic interference. ![]() What science has to say about correct sleeping direction
