A study conducted by a group of scientists found that the knife functions as a flinders bar for our beds, adjusting the magnetic field surrounding us to ensure that we may sleep soundly without interfering with our brain activity. Evidently, the knife method aids in sleep. You can substitute any other iron object, such as keys or an iron pin. Knives should not be kept under pillows.
