I am a walking encyclopedia of little known superstitions. I like to think that I just know these...that I am not truly superstitious. I just find it curious that these things seem to apply so often.
One that I never believed was...never sleep with your head pointed north. This one just seemed to have no merit. Until we moved out of a north room in which the bed was on the north wall. Yes, our heads were to the north.
Now in our south room with the bed pointed to the south, sleep is soooooo much more peaceful. I noticed it the first night. Rod mentioned it on the second night...and he is NOT superstitious. Seems like there may be some truth to this one.
Researched it on-line with some interesting results. More info at

Check it out. I claim with some certainty that it is true.
