Is there any scientific study about where should the bed be facing? (lemmy.ml)

This is something I always wondered because some people have a bunch of theories about whether your head should face north or south or whatever, because of the earth magnetic field. Is there any science in this or just "superstition"?

Also, would it be better to have the head towards a window or away from a window, even if closed (e.g. in winter)?

I'm basically asking whether there exist "recommendations" on how to structure a bedroom backed by science.

I don't think it really makes a difference unless you're really into feng shui. The best position for your bed is whichever one allows you to sleep most comfortably

My mrs claims to be into "feng shui".

Honestly most of it is just sensible layout advice wrapped in bullshit woo woo.

I’d drop a link to the Penn and Teller: Bullshit episode about Feng Shui, but I can’t find one.
