Is it really just a feudal superstition that the rural elderly insist on sleeping with their heads facing south and their feet facing north?

Old people in rural areas insist on sleeping with their heads facing south and their feet facing north. There is no scientific basis, but we usually sleep like this, just like we build a house facing south, and the lighting effect is very good. Old people are superstitious and pay attention to some taboos when sleeping. If their feet face west, they will think of death, which is very unlucky for the old people. The old man also believes in geomantic omen, and his head facing south and his feet facing north conform to geomantic omen, otherwise some strange things will happen.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "a thousand women are nourished by the Taoist forest" says that "mortals lie, facing east in spring and summer, facing west in autumn and winter" and "don't lie on their heads and sleep in the north." Lao Lao Heng Yan said, "When you sleep in the East, you always lie down with breath" and "Don't lie down in the north first, that is, avoid Yin Qi". This shows that sleeping should conform to the changes of the four seasons in order to have a good sleep and recuperate the body and mind.

Scientific research has proved that sleeping with head facing south and feet facing north is really helpful to people's health. Sleeping like this often not only makes them energetic, but also prolongs their life, and some senile diseases will be much less. In the scientific field, the earth is a big magnetic field, and our human body contains many elements such as iron, cobalt and nickel. When we sleep, the direction of bioelectricity and cell current should be parallel to the direction of the earth's magnetic field, so that our sleep quality will be greatly improved.

Sleep is what we all need. No matter how we sleep, we can sleep as long as it makes us full of energy and vitality. Our life is very short, we sleep half the time, and we need a good sleep because of the pressure every day.
