Is there any scientific study about where should the bed be facing? - eviltoast

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 wonder why I’m being downvoted. I very much welcome discussion. If you want to tell me why I’m wrong, like that cryptochromes cannot be used in sensing magnetic field upon closer look etc., I’d be excited. Disagreement without pointing out any mistakes I did brings me nothing.

    If it’s just disbelief, I would’ve preferred being asked for sources. Even wikipedia mentions some of what I wrote (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetoreception) and while I admit my source isn’t primary literature, it is a monography about senses and I would’ve made an effort to track down at least some of the original papers.
