Researchers in Germany recently found that cattle graze and deer sleep in alignment with the North-South axis of the Earth's magnetic field, after studying thousands of satellite pictures of such herds across the globe.

The discovery suggests that our planet's magnetism has more effect on living things, aside from it just guiding the migration of birds, salmon and the like.

What impact does all this have on you?

Consider this: some studies indicate that sleeping in a position aligned with the magnetic poles, instead of in an East-West direction, somehow results in more Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep which translates into more rest which means less lethargy and dragging of feet when it comes to waking up for work the next day.

Fengshui anyone?
