I think I read somewhere that it's much healthier to always
point North when you sleep. This is achievable when at home,
as it is possible, with a little bit of effort, to swivel your bed
around, but what about when you are in unfamiliar
surroundings?
Having a compass is clearly not enough,
because you can
always twist out of alignment in the middle of the night, so
what you you need are magnetised Compass Pyjamas that will
always try to point North. As you sleep and move around,
your Compass Pyjamas will exert a subtle effect on your
movements that should leave you pointing in a North- South
axis by morning, thus infusing you with the full benefits of
such an alignment.

Why not put your bed on a swivel stand? |

"xenzag awoke confused and choking, a painful constriction around his neck and groin. His pyjamas were pointing north, while his body was pointing south." |

(snickers at the idea of pyjamas with pointy bits) |

See, now in a pool on an air mattress this could work. |

Also good for those Second Coming moments - isn't that why all bodies are buried facing one way in churchyards? I think it's east for Christianity and West for Muslim, but I may well be wrong. |

rubyminky - Muslims are buried towards Mecca (the place, not the bingo halls) and so in the UK it is East-ish |

Thanks Miasere - validates my pyjama modification! |

I would like to know why it is good to sleep pointing
North. Still, bun for the idea. |
|
| |
which bit of you is meant to point north? |
|
| |
Well, I guess you and Pericles don't have the option we do. |
|
| |
I'd demonstrate, but I'd probably get thrown out. |
|
| |
oh, DrC, always so creative. ;) |

Surely that would involve having to sleep standing up? |
