Why don't you sleep with your feet facing west and your head facing east? Maybe it's not superstition, the truth is coming
There is indeed a saying that you cannot sleep with your head facing west. It is said that this is related to the earth's magnetic field, so sleep can easily cause insomnia, but this statement cannot be verified for the time being.
The magnetic field lines make an angle with the horizontal
In fact, this argument cannot fully explain the problem of insomnia, because the earth's magnetic poles are not divided into true south and true north, but have a certain inclination angle. At every point on the earth, the direction of the so-called conforming to the earth's magnetic field lines is not exactly correct, the direction of the earth's magnetic field lines will change according to day and night and throughout the year, but the direction of the house and bed will not follow the direction of the earth's magnetic field lines Changes in time, no one adjusts the direction of the boat all the time. Therefore, this statement cannot be fully endorsed.
Some scientists believe that the human body can indeed be considered a weak magnet. When sleeping, if you follow the direction of the magnetic field lines, you will be affected by the earth's magnetic field force, but in fact, this magnetic field force is a very small individual, and you can't feel the certain angle between the magnetic field lines and the horizontal plane at all. In the direction of sleep, strictly speaking, it will not be north-south.
Magnetic fields affect the human nervous system
We do adapt to various magnetic field balances. Sometimes the magnetic field balance is broken, which will cause corresponding changes, such as the most common sunspot activity in the universe, sunspot magnetic explosion, skin potential will affect the nervous system, and the sympathetic nerves of the autonomic nervous system are in a state of tension. Therefore, when the earth's magnetic field changes, patients with mental illness are prone to mood swings and disease fluctuations.
More commonly, when people travel and move across time zones, they also lose sleep due to magnetic fields. However, these effects are short-term and do not affect people's sleep quality in the long-term due to the direction of sleep. Scientists are still having a hard time drawing conclusions about the relationship between geomagnetism and sleep. If you want to sleep well, it's better to adjust your sleeping position and bedroom than worry about orientation.
Adjustable and controllable factors affect sleep
Some factors that affect sleep are controllable and adjustable, such as taking care of the bedroom temperature and room layout moderately, which will affect people's sleep to a certain extent. The most comfortable sleep temperature is generally 26 degrees Celsius, still in a pure natural environment without light pollution. Sleep Easier to fall asleep and more stable sleep. Therefore, the hotel often turns on the central air conditioner and uses various shade cloths to create a dark sleeping environment and improve the sleeping quality of customers.
In addition to the temperature and light, the layout of the room should be as simple as possible. Don’t decorate too many decorations, especially like toys. The simpler the children’s bedroom, the better. If you put too many toys, it will only make people see more spirits. It will not be completely carefree sleep, some people sleep lighter, so when choosing bedding, it is best to choose a bed that conforms to human mechanics, especially for lumbar problems, it is best to choose a harder mattress, and the material and height of the pillow are also suitable From the cervical spine and body shape layout.
