Interview questions Do you think that the Earth's magnetic field can impact sleep? Can the position you sleep, or the direction of your head (north, south, east, west) affect your quality of sleep? Is there any empirical evidence linking the brain and the Earth’s magnetic field?
Key points The earth’s magnetic field is weak Zeitgebers: (German) explores the concept of organism rhythms with earth’s phases (day and night cycle) Enough points aren’t discovered to support the idea of links between earth’s magnetic fields and the brain Secretion of particular hormones: melatonin → stimulating growth hormone during particular intervals of sleep Hormonal regulations= during sleep Neuromechanics for sensing magnetism in the human body, not yet developed. Sleeping disorders contain factors that demonstrate the quality and quantity of sleep obtained by humans

Dear Mr Catcheside,
My name is Breeze Mathew and I am a year 11 student studying at St Mary’s College. As a requirement of Year 11 I am to undertake a research project and find relevant/reliable sources in order to answer my question. Joanne Surman the science coordinator at St Mary's College, suggested an interview with you due to your expertise and knowledge in this field. My selected question for research: “To what degree do the magnetic fields impact sleep?” Interview Questions: Do you think that the Earth's magnetic field can impact sleep?
Can the position you sleep, or the direction of your head (north, south etc) affect your quality of sleep?
Is there any empirical evidence linking the brain and the Earth’s magnetic
