Glen -
As usual, your provocation lead me to speculate and google and speculate
some more.
1. Is sleeping E/W significantly different and N/S geomagnetically?
(I prefer to be woken by the rising sun, myself, not so clear on the
geomagnetic implications though)
2. Does the off-vertical angle of the earth's field (at mid-latitudes
-N/+S) effect humans, esp. when traveling/moving between
mid/extreme/equatorial latitudes? (Might yield something akin to a
latitudinal version of jet-lag?)
3. Does wearing a tinfoil hat *in* an electromagnetic field introduce
fields larger than the geomagnetic field?
4. Does 3) above qualify for (accidental?) self-medication for mental
disorders? https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03556735
5. does Randall Munroe (XKCD) read my mind? https://xkcd.com/2098/
