A very famous Indian Yogi, in one of his videos, has recently explained to the audience why no one should sleep at night with their head towards the north. This can be found in many cultures around all over the world. We do not have anything against such beliefs. However, we always find this idea accompanies by a 'scientific' explanation. The explanation goes as follows. It starts with the presence of iron is in the blood. As all of us know, iron gets attracted by magnets. Earth itself is a magnet (that is why compasses work). So, it is very natural to assume that the iron in the human body will get attracted by the Earth's magnetic poles. Sleeping with the head towards the north will cause the blood to flow more towards the head, as we live in the northern hemisphere. (The same goes for the south if one is in the southern hemisphere.) In times when we are awake, the heart is working against gravity and pumping blood. So, when we are lying down heading north, the heart which is accustomed to adjusting to gravity cannot overcome the magnetic force from the Earth. As a result of more blood in the head, we will see bad dreams, and if we continue this practice, we can have a stroke (caused due to blocked arteries in the brain) and can die. We strongly oppose this 'explanation,' and now we present to the viewer why this 'explanation' is not scientific at all.
